Offered is a very nice US regulation Model 1852 Naval officer's sword. This one was type imported during the Civil War by a veritable host of US arms dealers like SCHUYLER HARTLEY & GRAHAM, NEW YORK. This example has a brass mounted hilt featuring cast foliate decoration and ribbon bearing “USN” on the guard. The close to perfect white fish skin grips have twisted brass wire. The fine slightly curved 30” single-edged blade with broad and narrow fullers is finely etched over its upper half with foliage, anchor, trident, and “USN” in ribbon on one side and “IRON PROOF” a capstan, stands of arms, and US flag and more. The ricasso on the left side is stamped with “CLAUBERG SOLINGEN" in an oval around a standing knight. The blade as scattered age brown areas but the etching is strong and there is no pitting. The sword is tight and the original leather washer between the blade and the hilt is intact. There is no scabbard. [pe] [ph:L]
