US M1852 Naval Officer’s Sword, ca. 1880. The US Model 1852 Naval Officer’s Sword has been in use since it was introduced in 1852 and is still carried by naval officers today. The design has remained virtually unchanged, yet over time the blades became narrower. Civil War era blades were over 1” wide, but more modern examples often have blades as narrow as 5/8”. This example by Horstmann (1817-1893) was made in their later years of operation. It features a brass hilt of regulation pattern with “USN” among oak leaves on the guard; reverse scroll quillon and knuckle bow, both in the shape of a sea serpent, and slanted pommel with oak leaves on the side and an eagle surrounded by 13 stars on the top. Wood grip with sharkskin cover and double twisted brass wire wrap (small piece of sharkskin missing at the top). Straight, single-edged 30″ long by 3/4″ wide blade with broad 3/4 length single fuller, the ricasso marked “HORSTMANN/PHILADELPHIA” on one side and 6-pointed star with brass-inlaid “PROVED” in the center on the other side; acid etched on both sides over 2/3 of its length with scrolling foliage, patriotic and nautical motif, and “U.S.N.” in a ribbon. Associated brown-painted iron scabbard with two brass carry bands and rings. The scabbard is Civil War era and fits most M1850 Foot Officer’s and M1850 Staff & Field Officer’s swords. The brass carry bands and rings are typical of Confederate scabbards, but it does not have the crude seam of most Confederate scabbards. Very good condition; the brass with golden brown patina and patches of green showing; blade shows age and minor rust markings, but etching is clear; scabbard paint heavily chipped, with dark brown patina underneath. Overall length 35 1/2″, not including scabbard.

CIVIL WAR MILITIA SWORD. Antebellum period, C. 1840-60. Type carried by Non Commissioned Officers in both the North and South. See The American Sword, Peterson, #11. 27 3/4” double edged blade. Brass hilt (considerable remnants of gold overlay) with plumed helmet pommel and reeded bone grip (no chips). Gilt brass mounted iron scabbard single small dent). State militias comprised the majority of combatants at the outbreak of the Civil War. As this sword survived the war and later, it can surely be assumed to have served. The absence of the stars and bars logo as found on the languets of many of these including this one, may indicate Southern use, as the prospect of war was festering by the 1830's. The doctrine of nullification was made law in South Carolina and in 1832, resulted in President Andrew Johnson threatening to send Federal troops to enforce the tariff laws. South Carolina's militias were called up and the state prepared for war. From the famous Frank Barnyak collection.

After serving briefly at Hampton Roads and the James River she was sent to the North Carolina coast where she was fitted with four 24-pounders in October, 1864. She went into action almost immediately and on the night of 31 October while patrolling off New Inlet, North Carolina, pursued and captured the British blockade runner “Annie”. In December she participated in the attacks on Ft. Fisher where she assisted in the failed attempt to breach the fort by towing the sidewheel steamer “Louisiana” filled with explosives near the fort's walls. The ship exploded as planned but had little effect. On January 13, 1865 “Wilderness” brought troops to within 500 yards of the shore where they were loaded on boats for the final assault on Ft. Fisher. She was decommissioned on 10 June 1865 and transferred to the Treasury Department and served as a revenue cutter in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1873 she was renamed “John A. Dix” and was eventually sold in 1891.
