474 - REVOLUTIONARY WAR HORSEMANS SABRE.
This is a great, triple-fullered Rev War Horsemans Sabre with a virtually perfect grip & wrap and a massive blade with much of its original fire blue and purple tinted finish. This is the classic that everyone is looking for in Rev War and second only in popularity to the famed "Potter". I used to have one of the best known Potters, and still cringe when I think that I sold it as I got tired of looking for a set of silver mounted officers pistols to go with it. About six weeks later, I found a great set of the pistols. Now, I'm looking for a another Potter. That's the way it goes.

376 - PRESENTATION GRADE, HORSTMANN STAFF & FIELD OFFICERS SWORD.
This is a stunning sword showing full gold wash, near mint frosty blade and a shark or ray-skin scabbard that shows one slight dent and tiny cut. No other creases or damage and other than these two tiny flaws is excellent. Extra large high relief mounts with the lower ring mount containing an sweated-on silver bust-plaque of George Washington. This is a beauty, and I just saw an inferior example at the Mansfield, Ohio Civil War show with no plaque priced at $10,500.

273 - CONFEDERATE CIVIL WAR SWORDS - VERY FINE CONDITION CONFEDERATE BOYLE & GAMBLE STAFF & FIELD OFFICERS SWORD.
This wonderfull sword popped out of an old barn in Youngstown, Ohio a few years ago. The new owner that bought it off the farm had my business card from the Mansfield, Ohio Civil War show and finally gave me a call. We sat in my dining room for 2 hours and finally worked out a deal. When he first uncovered it, I was really bummed that it was missing the drag and a little bit of leather off the end of the scabbard. Civil War Preservations was kind enough to spare a small piece of original top-stiched B&G scabbard for me, and I had the best restoration artist in the world fabricate a near perfect drag to the leather. The repair is virtually imperceptable. This is a great Confederate S&F. The guard is a beautifull, deep brown patina with generous amounts of gold gilt gleeming through and a bold CS incorporated into the scrollwork. It has one of the best grips I've ever seen with all the original leather save for a few small flakes that have blended with wear and all the original wire. The blade, with typical unstopped fuller and the usual B&G casting flaws, shows almost all its original etch, with crossed flags & cannons and a host of scrolling and tobacco leaves, all a bit light but still there and visable. The mounts and drag patina match that of the guard perfectly. It also retains an original braided sword knot that was found with the sword, undoubtedly with it since its period of use. This is a great sword that I have no doubt will be appreciated as such. It is free of dents to any brass and there is virtually no flaking or severe creasing and crackling to the leather. It doesn't have that battered and uncared for look. It was an old veteran that was placed in a trunk after the war, and save for the drag restoration is untouched retaining all its original patina.

240 - ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR SWORD - FINE CONDITION, INSPECTED AMES ARTILLERY SABRE DATED 1865.
Contrary to the thinking of some Civil War buffs, there was still a Civil War being fought for much of the early part of 1865. Earlier dated items are surely more desireable, but some of these "orphans" of the class of '65 are also desireable when priced correctly. This sabre definately shows use, but is still in very fine condition. It retains all the leather & wire wrap, shows much polish on the blade and has an aged but dent-free scabbard.

136 - CONFEDERATE CIVIL WAR SWORDS - "WORLD-CLASS", REGULATION CONFEDERATE NAVAL OFFICERS SWORD WITH DOLPHIN HEAD POMMEL BY COURTNEY & TENNANT, CHARLESTON, S.C.
Simply spectacular condition, one of the best known examples of this type and certainly in the top 5% in terms of condition for ANY Confederate Sword, this beautifull dolphin-head is considered by many to be the most aesthetically pleasing of any Naval Sword ever created. The combination of WHITE sharkskin grip, large naval motif guard and distinctive dolphin-head pommel are striking, as are the coiled-snake mounts and drag. These wonderfull weapons, totally unique to the Confederate Navy were the result of efforts by George Tennant from the firm of Courtney & Tennant (Importers and Naval Outfitters) who went to England and contracted with Robert Mole and Sons of Birmingham, England to manufacture the famed and blockade-run Dolphins. The guard on this example retains virtually 98 - 99% of its original gold gilt on the pommel and prox. 70% on the scabbard mounts. The leather scabbard (which often is not even present!) is in very fine to excellent condition for this model, with some flaking to the finish. The blade shows all of its original etch and frosting with only the most minor specs of corrossion scattered about its face. The ricasso is boldly stamped with the C & T address and the etching is deep and clear with a wonderfull Confederate 1st National Flag proudly etched among florals and Naval Motifs. Examples of the famed Dolphin Head are in the Smithsonian Institution and The Confederate Museum in Richmond. This particular example is one of the finest specimens ever offered for sale, and worthy of the finest museum or private collection.
