Sold by Findings

This is an unusual piece of Civil War history. It is a 1860s period short sword This sword is only 23" long and the blade is 17" long. The blade is so well formed it looks like this is how it was made. Or, one heck of an altering job! The piece is highly decorated with nice gilt with the American eagle, the patriotic shield with the olive branches and arrows. The blade is etched with patriotic symbols also. The sword itself is in very good condition. I do not have the scabbard for it. I am sure that there is a story that went with this piece.
