A good civil war sword made by Horstmann of Philadelphia. This sword is in good condition has good weight ,blade is in good condition as well.The black leather & brass scabbard of course looks like you would expect it to ,but is still very healthy Measuring 35” Long Take a look at my entire web catalogue for a few more swords from an estate here in Rockland Maine. To follow is a bit of information I found on the maker.W.H. Horstmann & Sons, NY and PhiladelphiaAlthough Horstmann was more of a resaler than a maker, I am including one of this firm’s marks anyways. I’ve seen at least 5 versions of the Horstmann mark, most on a variety of officer’s sabers. The carried a range of sword varieties rivaled only by the Ames company. Most standard issue models were sold, as well as a huge variety of related military equipment. Most, if not all, blades were imported from Germany, and some still carry marks from their German makers. Horstmann held government contracts for 1043 cavalry sabers, 1143 NCO swords, 270 musician swords, and 87 light artillery sabers, and is the only known maker of the M1840 Marine sword.
