This is a Model 1840 N.C.O. sword. In excellent overall condition, these swords were carried by Federal non-commissioned officers as a sign of authority in the ranks. Sword is approximately 39” long and has a fine leather scabbard. The 32” long straight sword blade remains mostly bright with very scattered spotting and no nicks. The ricasso bears a “C. ROBY / W. CHELMSFORD / MASS.” stamp with “U.S. / 1865 / AGM” on the other. The sword’s brass hilt features a simulated wire-wrap grip, a double shell-style guard, and a single-branch knuckle bow.  Inspector’s initials (AGM) are found on the knuckle bow.

Black leather scabbard is in very good condition; with no breaks or folds. Moderate crazing to the surface finish. Complete, tight stitching on the back side. Fitted with brass drag and throat. The drag shows the inspector’s initials (AGM). Belt hook remains in place on brass throat as does red wool lining on inside.

A fine Civil War NCO sword with scabbard.   [jet]  [ph:L]
