ajbUSWM Posted January 11, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 11, 2021 Everyone is familiar with presentation Navy swords with the elaborate fittings and sometimes embellished blade engravings but what I have never seen before is what seems to be a standard 1852 style U.S. Navy sword with fancy swirling engraving in the brass fittings of the scabbard. Were fancy upgraded presentation scabbards sold by the famous sword manufacturers or is this just a one-off custom engraving done by the local shop? The blade is 3/4" so dates post-1872. Working on dating the sword to the actual year made. Does anyone have sword catalogues that would show this upgraded scabbard? Any insight would be appreciated. I will try to post better photos later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
