This is one of my favorite patterns of Confederate swords from the Civil War. It is the short bladed artillery saber made for the Confederate artillerymen. They get their design after the Roman style gladiator sword. This pattern is a fierce looking weapon but their massive design proved unwieldy in battle so they stopped making them after the Civil War started. This is why we don't' see many of the originals, like this one, offered for sale. This one has a great look with a very pleasing appearance. The cast brass handle has the bold "CS" letters on each side of the handle as well as the star design on the end of the grip. You can see the casting grain where the brass was cast in a mold made of sand. You can see the imperfections in the casting for the manufacturer realized the importance of getting the piece into the field outweighed the desire for making it perfect. These flaws are one of the traits you look for to tell the original swords from the reproductions. There are a couple of spots that they filled the flaws in the brass in with lead. What a cool thing to show your relic buddies. The blade is 19 inches in length and the sword measures 24-1/4th inches overall. The blade has the wide single fuller on each side. It has a wonderful untouched tone all over. There are a few service nicks along theone side of the blade. On the side of the grip, there is an indentation in the heavy brass that is surely a bullet or canister strike. A fired bullet fits right down in the depression as you can see. That's Cool! This is a fantastic piece of Confederate Civil War artillery history.
