PRESERVING CIVIL WAR AMERICAN HISTORY, CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE THOMAS GRISWOLD OFFICER SWORD W ORIGINAL NEW ORLEANS LEATHER SCABBARD WHICH IS ALWAYS ALMOST MISSING.  THIS IS A VERY RARE SWORD WITH THE ORIGINAL NEW ORLEANS SCABBARD AND NEW ORLEANS FITTINGS. MANY GRISWOLD SWORDS WERE MARKED, AND MANY UNMARKED, THIS ONE IS NOT MARKED, BUT THEIR STYLE OF MANUFACTURING IS SO DISTINCTIVE THAT THOSE THAT ARE NOT MARKED CAN BE READILY IDENTIFIED. GRISWOLD SWORDS ARE RARE, AS THOMAS GRISWOLD ONLY OPERATED FOR LESS THAN A YEAR.

REASONABLY PRICED AND A MUST HAVE FOR THE CIVIL WAR COLLECTOR. SCABBARD IS NOT IN THE GREATEST CONDITION, BUT MOST DID NOT SURVIVE.

WHEN YOU BUY THE BEST YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO MAKE EXCUSES LATER.
