CONFEDERATE BOYLE & GAMBLE TYPE STAFF & FIELD OFFICER’S SWORD
02-23931
Overall length: 36 1/4″. Blade length: 28″. A good honest example of a Civil War Confederate Boyle & Gamble style staff and field officer’s sword. This style of sword was also produced and/or sold by Mitchell and Tyler as well as Berger Brothers. This fact allows for small variations in various details of their respective swords. The plain blade has a single wide, unstopped fuller. The brass hilt has a pierced foliate guard with a central “CS” and star above. The underside of the guard is stamped “7” on one side and “31” on the other side. The foliate decoration extends a short way up the knuckle bow that splits, forming a sword knot slot. The pommel has a crude acanthus leaf decorated front with a plain 3-step pommel. Wire wrapped leather grip. Excellent top stitched correct scabbard with correct plain band sword mounts. The matching drag is stamped “51” on the top.
