This is a good condition Confederate Short Artillery Sword marked with a "C" and "S" on the quillons of both sides of the hilt. The hilt is un-rivetted and in good condition with bold "C & S" castings. The blade shows pitting due to storage in a basement in an original scabbard that was in about 40 pieces of unusable dust and dirt with no mounts. This sword is a good looking example and priced right.
