This sword is very similar to the Staff and Field Officers sword pictured on page 69 of
Arms and Equipment of the Confederacy by Time-Life Books 1996. #
The blade is marked W J McElroy or McElrod followed by a J. B. (?) And Mason GA on one side and 1862 on the other side. #The hilt and scabbard are a brown patina and the blade is dark steel grey. #The leather and wire wrap are intact, with some ware on the leather. #The hilt has a “C S” molded into it for Confederate States.
I have many more pictures available via email. #Contact me at robertmershon (at) usfamily.net
Price is $995 plus actual shipping and insurance from Minnesota.
