An all around very nice Civil War Staff & Field Officer's Sword.  It has its original sword knot and all of the sharkskin on the grip plus an intact three-wire wrap.  The mountings are intricately engraved, i.e., the top and front of the pommel, the upper, middle and lower mounts on the scabbard.  The scabbard is iron with brass mounts and only minimal dings on the drag.  As a matter of fact, the iron looks as though it retains much of the original finish.  The guard casting is quite ornate and very well done.  The washer is intact as is all the blade etching.  There is an Eagle under E. Pluribus Unum on the right side of the blade and US in a panel on the left side.  The top of the blade is etched "IRON PROOF."  The blade has minor freckling toward the tip but is otherwise very smooth.  A really nice looking sword with light wear.  Price $2,950.  Price Reduced $2,350!!  SOLD!!
