VERY FINE CONFEDERATE THOMAS, GRISWOLD CAVALRY OFFICER’S SABER WITH RAREST MAKER MARK
02-23610
Thomas, Griswold & Company made the finest quality swords in the Confederacy. The address stamped on ricasso is rarely seen in two straight lines: “THOMAS GRISWOLD & CO., NEW ORLEANS”. This cavalry officer’s saber as many of their products, had their signature solid brass scabbard. These swords were so popular in their day that several Confederate Generals carried them and even one Union General was known to have carried one that he must have captured at some campaign during the war. It would be difficult to upgrade this fine example especially with rare full firm straight line address.
PROVENANCE: ex-Dr. Joseph Murphy collection
