US CW M1850 Sword

7) US Non- Regulation, Civil War Era, Model 1850 Foot Officer's Sword. Slightly curved single edge, heavy 32" blade marked "W.CLAUBERG, SOLINGEN" encircling a standing knight, "IRON PROOF" etched to back of blade. Wide brass, single arm guard, is pierced with florals. Though somewhat darkened with age about 70% of the original gold wash remains on hilt. The sharkskin wrapped grip is excellent but missing the wire wrap. The blade etchings of laurels and floral is faint but discernable, some pitting to tip of blade. Overall a pleasing look to a relic of our Civil War. The leather scabbard was quite deteriorated and is not included. All of these swords are getting quite scarce. ... BUY NOW ... $895.00

It has a slight curve with a single edge and 2/3 fuller terminating at false edge of blade. "US" and scrolls are on reverse while "Eagle and Motto" are on obverse of blade. The etchings are worn, the blade has no nicks and it is in fine condition, marked "W. Clauberg, Solingen" with US Officer CW Non Reg Sword 8 standing knight, also "Proved" in circle. The hilt consists of a wire wrapped sharkskin grip in 90% fine condition but only about half of full wire remaining. Also a double bow guard and birds head back strap, all of steel, now turning gray. The steel scabbard fits well and has two loop hangers and a full drag. There are two creases midway in scabbard. The style of this sword fits the 1833 English Pattern that was used for early US Regulation Swords. This seems to be an elusive sword to find in the normal sword books that I have checked.
