1840 PATTERN MUSICIAN'S SWORD

$555.00

German made with HORSTMAN (?) SOLINGEN maker's mark. Undated and not US marked, indicative of militia use. Unmarked brass hilt indicating non-war department, therefore militia issue. Very likely fought for the Confederacy. Musicians marched at the head of the attack and were recognized as a stabilizing and stimulating force. They were attacked to silence them. Union musicians were equipped with the 1840 pattern sword and no other weapon. From the famed American Sword Collection of Frank Barnyak.
