RICHARD FERRY MILITARY ANTIQUES
EDGED WEAPONS
Absolute attic condition sword from a house in Cincinnati, Ohio.
I've always wondered who made these swords. The scabbard is the same identical scabbard found on the so called
Kenansville cavalry sabre. The blade also has the typical rounded top seen on the Kenansville blades. The inside of the
guard is recessed similar to the guards on some Boyle and Gamble sabres. The overall condition is nice with some traces of
the original maroon paint. The single strand copper wire has 1 small solder repair where the wire was nicked and broken.
Nice smooth blade. Probably a captured war trophy taken back to Ohio.
PRICE $5000.00 While at the Fredricksburg the wire was broken while handling. Price reduced accordingly Still a great
sword
A completely unique and completely original Confederate Cavalry saber. I originally purchased this sword with a model 1842
North Carolina marked percussion pistol. I was told that they were purchased together from the descendants of the North
Carolina cavalryman that carried them during the war.
This sword is completely untouched in every aspect. It has the typical scabbard that is found on the classic Kenansville
cavalry sabre. The guard and pommel cap are the same as another Confederate sword I have listed above. What is unique is
that this sword has an Ames blade dated 1845. This sword has always been together and probably constructed this way. The
leather and wire wrapped grip has a narrower spacing on the wire wrap much like that seen on the U.S. Model 1840 sabres.
PRICE: $6,000.00
