FINE AND RARE THOMAS, GRISWOLD & CO, NEW ORLEANS CONFEDERATE NAVAL CUTLASS.This is the scarcest of the normally encountered Confederate naval cutlasses. This example has fine full marking "THOMAS, GRISWOLD & CO / NEW ORLEANS" stamped on ricasso. This maker's mark is quite often very light and only partially discernible. This is about as nice as mark as you will see, event though a couple of letters are weak on edges. 26" overall, 21" wasp-waist blade. Brass guard and fish scale handle. SIZE: CONDITION: Very good overall. Blade is clean and grey with remnants of old plating near tip, light pitting. Brass guard and grip have a medium mustard patina with several small bends and dents. 52041-5 JS (3,000-4,000)
