This M1850 staff and field officer sword comes beautifully etched and frosted with an ornately adorned scabbard.
Etched with the Miller and Company of New York markers markings on the ricasso, the rest of the 32” blade shows no signs of use or damage and retains most of its original bright finish. A light gray patina has started to form near the hilt and tip and offers a nice character that showcases the sword’s age. The edge is fine with no marks or rolls. The intricate etchings on the blade include war trophies, cannon, floral spray, unfurled US flags, a proud Federal Eagle with shield, and a beautiful “US” separated by a patriotic shield. The overall length of the sword is approximately 38” without the scabbard. The handguard, hilt, and pommel are beautifully gilded, and show signs of minimal but typical wear from handling and use. The fish skin grips show some signs of drying but remain strongly affixed to the handle while the gilt wire wrapping is in excellent condition. The knurled quillon is intricately engraved and compliments the pierced handguard perfectly.
The scabbard is in great structural condition with a strong and completely intact center stitch. The leather retains its rich black finish and shows no indications of creasing or cracking. The throat, middle band, and tip are engraved in detail with geometric and floral patterns with the tip showcasing two deep federal shields. Throat band is adorned with a beautiful “US” and a blank shield silhouette. Scabbard measures 33”
An excellent opportunity to collect a Miller and Company Staff and Field Officer’s Sword. [cm][ph:L]
