The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, October 31, 2017.
THOMAS, GRISWOLD NEW ORLEANS CONFEDERATE ARTILLERY OFFICER'S SABER WITH BRASS SCABBARD.Classic brass scabbarded artillery saber, maker's marked "THOMAS, GRISWOLD / NEW ORLEANS", though on this example, just a portion of New Orleans can be read and none of the maker. Regardless, in the scabbard this is a beautiful sword with fine brass patina that will display beautifully. SIZE: PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Very good overall. 31" blade is grey overall with pitting especially heavy towards point. Maker's mark is barely discernible and only a few letters of "NEW ORLEANS" can be read. Grip has been re-wrapped with new wire. Unique solid brass Griswold scabbard has few cosmetic dents, dings and scratches but good matching dark mustard patina to hilt and pommel. 52438-5 JS (4,000-6,000)
