CONFEDERATE SHORT ARTILLERY SWORD WITH CS AND STAR.This is a classic example of Confederate copy of a Model 1832 artillery sword that is highly reproduced, but this is an orig and authentic example, measuring 23-1/2" overall with an 18" wasp waist blade with central fuller. These swords were hollow cast, often with lead solder in casting flaws like this example shows. This sword has the look of being an early battlefield pick up. If it could only talk and tell us its story! SIZE: CONDITION: Fair. Blade is brown and heavily pitted with iron patina. Brass is cleaned with several large slash marks and bent. 52062-1 JS (2,000-3,000)
