Model 1850 foot officer's sword by Horstmann and Sons, Philadelphia. Finely cast U.S. basket guard, shagreen grip with brass wire wrap. Blade finely acid etched with martial motifs, and U.S., marked Iron Proof. Scabbard originally painted black, now with much plum-colored steel visible. All brass fittings, the top hanger is inscribed Henry B. Douglas Co. I 84th Regt. N.G.S.N.Y. The 84th New York Guards were organized early in the war, and like many units served two iterations of 30 and 100 days each, before it became apparent that the rebellion would last more than a few months. We can find no record that Douglass served again for New York. Condition: Blade and etchings quite strong, though not "frosty." Scabbard as described above, with no defects.
