THIS IS AN ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR RELIC SWORD FROM RICHMOND VIRGINIA. IT IS IN ORIGINAL AS FOUND UNTOUCHED ATTIC CONDITION WITH RUST, BUMPS, BRUISES, BREAKS, AND WEAR THROUGHOUT. THE PATTERN 1821 WAS IMPORTED BY THE SOUTH DURING THE WAR AND APPEARS TO BE A BATTLEFIELD PICKUP. I CANNOT FIND A MAKERS MARK UNDER THE RUST AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CONFEDERATE SOLDIER OR REGIMENT MAY HAVE FOUGHT WITH THIS. IT IS STILL SOLID, NOT LOOSE WITH A RUSTY IRON GUARD AND REMNANTS OF OLD PAINT SCATTERED THROUGHOUT. NICE EARLY PRIMITIVE CIVIL WAR SOUTHERN SWORD RELIC. MEASURES: 40.5″ LONG.
