SCARCE COLLEGE HILL NASHVILLE TENNESSEE

CONFEDERATE MULTI BRANCH OFFICER’S SWORD. 29” unstopped fuller blade with pen-knife type ricasso characteristic to College Hill, Nashville TN made swords. This same hilt is seen on Houston Texas made swords and I have always wondered what happened to operation after Nashville fell as these hilts are almost identical in design to JC Wilson of Houston, TX. Unique smooth muti-branch guard, plain quillon, plain undecorated pommel cap. This exact word is pictured on page 137 of “American Swords & Makers’ Marks” 1999 by C. D. Furr. CONDITION: sword is very good overall, blade cleaned with pitting, original leather grip missing wire wrap. The accompanying scabbard is dry & flaking, fits well, with one reproduction brass mount. (02-19332/JS). $2,000-3,000.
