SCARCE J. C. WILSON HOUSTON TEXAS MULTI-BRANCH
MOUNTED OFFICER'S SWORD. 31.25" unstopped fuller blade with unique style muti-branch guard with smooth brass finish that seems consistent with this maker as seen on the few maker marked examples. Often these swords are offered as products of College Hill, Nashville armory but the blades in those similar swords have different blades with "pen-knife" ricassos and typical sand cast finish to brass. These is almost no historical record on J.C. Wilson of Houston, TX other than a few newspaper ads during the war. His records are currently unknown but must have been a moderate operation. CONDITION: very good with professional rewrapped leather grip. (02-19112/JS). $2,000-3,000.
