Post Civil War Model 1852/72 USN Naval Officers Etched Sword with Leather Scabbard. The blade is marked W. Horstman & Sons” over “Philadelphia”, below that on the ricasso there is a Kings Head stamp for Gebruder Weyersberg, and below that (partially under the hilt) is what looks like the top half of a “64. The brass guard and pommel cap do wiggle. The grip has some movement also, the sharkskin grip is 98% complete and the brass twisted wire is complete and tight. The etched blade has not been sharpened, the spine is marked “Iron Proof”, and age spots scattered throughout with light surface rust mainly on the lower half towards the tip. The leather scabbard has some crazing, the throat piece is missing, the stitching has let go here and there. Length of the blade measures 28 7/8″ (13/16″ wide x 5/16″ thick), length of the sword is 34″, and overall in the scabbard it is 34 1/2. Scabbard comes up 3/8 shy of going on all the way, this is likely due to the missing throat piece and leather shrinkage over the 100+ years. Check out my other War items!!
