Civil War Model 1860 Staff & Field Sword withScabbard G. F. Foster Son & Co

Civil War Model 1860 Staff & Field Sword with Scabbard. The ricasso is marked G. The fixed clamshell displays the usual design, the knuckle guard is not connected at the pommel cap, the leather grip is 98% complete (only missing a small chunk towards the pommel cap that exposes the wood), and the twisted wire wrap is 100% complete but is a little loose.

The etched blade has a nice even patina on both sides, it hasn't been sharpened, but the last 1/4 at the tip has a very slight bend. The scabbard has a dark patina, a couple small dings, the drag has the star on one side, and the throat is missing the screw. There is some movement to the blade, guard, and grip. Length of the blade measures 29 3/4", length of the sword is 35 1/2", and overall in the scabbard it is 36 3/4. Check out my other War items!!
