This authentic, hand made replica is hand forged and fully tempered of 1095 high carbon steel. Coupled with original handle and sheath materials to ensure it performs exactly as the originals did. Flexible, ornate blade and leather grip wrapped with brass wire. This faithful reproduction of the Boyle, Gamble and McFee sword is a beauty! The blade etching is even more detailed than on the old ones, with the heroic “C.S.A.”, cannon and battle flag all well done. The brass fittings are beautifully hand finished with precise detail. Note the five pointed star and “CS” on the knuckle bow. Top grain leather scabbard.
