This specimen of the Model 1840 N.C.O. sword is an original edged weapon in relic condition recovered from an undisclosed location. Typically carried by Federal non-commissioned officers, the sword's overall length is 38½" including a steel blade 32¼" long and a brass hilt. Hilt is strong and slightly loose and has grips with a simulated cast brass wire wrap cover that has acquired a pleasing, brown-dark green patina overall. The long, straight, single-edged blade suffers from moderate to heavy rust pockmarking and features a single stopped broad fuller. No maker's stampings are visible on the blade. Sword has a double 'clamshell' style brass guard with one side that appears slightly pushed forward at the edge. No scabbard is included. Carried by Corporals and Sergeants during the Civil War as symbol of their authority, this relic collectable specimen would enhance any edged weapon display or collection.
