This is a nice looking original Civil War sword & scabbard for the non-commissioned officer. This one has a full-length blade and it has the maker's mark of the firm of Emerson & Silver of Trenton, New Jersey at the base. Emerson made many fine quality edged weapons during the Civil War for the United States government including this one. On the base of the blade front it has the production date of 1863 which is a nice war date for their swords. It has the "DFM" inspector initials on the brass bow of the handguard. These are the initials of Dexter F. Mosman who inspected swords for the U.S. Government. The blade was chromed in more modern times and now has a very attractive look. It has some old pitting down towards the point. The hand guard, grip and pommel cap are made of brass and they all have a very pleasing medium patina color. On the bow of the hand guard it also has the "DFM" marking. The sword is accompanied by the original metal and brass scabbard. The scabbard has the matching "DFM" inspector initials on the brass drag. These Emerson N.C.O. swords used a metal and brass construction compared to the leather and brass scabbards others used. The drag was used enough that it was bent up, likely from the soldier being shorter and it dragging the ground. This is an attractive Civil War dated N.C.O. Sword by Emerson & Silver with a full-length blade and the original scabbard that you can tell was used but not abused.
