Gun Collectors Dream Auction #69 Weapons of War!
Lot 107:
W. Clauberg Solingen Civil War Officer Presentation Sword- Beyond rare, this sword is truly and literally unique. I searched a couple hours on the Internet for the pattern on the Guard, I see the Eagle pattern everywhere but not this one with what appears as two women (look closely on the guard decor) wanted to say M1860 pattern but you be the judge! Wilhelm Clauberg was a sword maker and steel manufacturer in the Gasstrasse in Solingen, Prussia. His firm supplied edged weapons to most of the civilized world throughout the 19th century. The firm?s origins date back to around 1810. The numbers of swords Clauberg supplied to the Union Army is incalculable. Surviving specimens would seem to indicate that Clauberg was likely the most prolific supplier from Solingen. This Beautiful Sword appears as a double edge sword, very pointed tip with a blade approx 32" in length, overall length is approx 38", The blade was etched scroll design but not real legible now, The handle appears to have been made from shark skin, on the guard shows "US" in a floral etch. The scabbard has is ornately gold color design, wish I could offer, more this one has me stumped..please refer to pictures when bidding this lot, very beautiful and unique.
