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
