C157.  CONFEDERATE FOOT OFFICERS SWORD: This is a Confederate Foot Officers sword, which is believed to be an unmarked version made by Thomas Griswold & Co. New Orleans.  Additionally, the sword has GAR gold paint on the hilt indicating that is was a war trophy that was proudly displayed in a veteran’s hall.  This hilt and pommel cap display the crude casting associated with a Confederate sword.  The grip is brown leather and originally had triple strand wire.  The center strand is all but gone, but the outer two strands are 100% complete.  The leather is 100% with some scuff marks.  The blade has on unstopped fuller and a distinct notch associated with Griswold swords.  The blade was period sharpened, to include the top false edge.  It has not been cleaned and is bright with areas of black spots. Also, the original leather washer is present.  Normally, this sword would be priced close to $2800.00, but I have listed it at a blow-out price. $1975.00.

C71.  SELMA ARSENAL / LEECH & RIGDON NAVAL CUTLASS:  I have seen three variations of naval cutlasses attributed to the Selma Arsenal / Leech & Rigdon: full hand guard, “S” shape guard, and no guard.  I believe those with a full guard were made early in the war.  This is one of those cutlasses and it is by fare one of the finest examples.  The guard, grip and pommel have a deep chocolate brown patina, and there is the number “632” stamped in the guard.  The blade is all original and looks great with some dark patina at the tip. $4950.00

C150.  SELMA ARSENAL / LEECH & RIGDON NAVAL CUTLASS:  I have seen three variations of naval cutlasses attributed to the Selma Arsenal or Leech & Rigdon: full hand guard, “S” shape guard, and no guard.  I believe those with a full guard were made early in the war. This is one of the late war examples and it is in great shape!  You will notice that there is no space between the blade and the grip leaving no room for a guard.  The brass has a nice untouched mellow patina, and the blade has taken on a dark gray patina.  You can see casting flaws on both the brass and steel.  This is a great example of a considerate cutlass.  $3750.00
