Probably a Macon, Georgia product. Many believe this pattern made by W.J. McElroy. This example has one of the finest blades we have encountered on this sword. Blade measures 18.5" and is bright. Hollow cast hilt with star on pommel and "CS" cast on each side of the crossguard. Grip with cast ribs. Casting flaws on hilt typical of these CS manufactured swords. Original leather scabbard missing drag and throat but rarely seen with sword. Nice addition to any CS sword collection.
