HERE IS A NICE LOOKING, FRESH OUT OF THE WOODWORK, c.1900-1920/WORLD WAR 1 ERA MAKERMARKED M1852 U.S. NAVY SWORD WITH SCABBARD & A BEAUTIFULLY ETCHED BLADE!
THIS IS AN ANTIQUE/VINTAGE PERIOD ITEM THAT DOES SHOW SOME SIGNS OF AGE/USE, BUT IS STILL IN PRETTY NICE SHAPE FOR IT\'S AGE.
BLADE IS MARKED WITH\"FRED FISCH VALLIJO, CAL\" AT THE BASE OF THE BLADE, FRED FISCH WAS A TAILOR WHO SPECIALIZED IN U.S. NAVY UNIFORMS IN VALLEJO, CALIFORNIA FROM 1897 THROUGH THE LATE 1920\'s.
BLADE WAS OBVIOUSLY MISS-ETCHED WITH AN \"I\" INSTEAD OF AN \"E\" IN \"VALLEJO\"!
WIRE GRIP SHARK/RAY-SKIN HANDLE STILL IN VERY NICE SHAPE, WIRE STILL TIGHT & GILT/BRASS FITTINGS STILL TIGHT & IN NICE SHAPE WITH GREAT DETAIL (SEE PHOTOS) ORIGINAL PORTEPEE/KNOT STILL ATTACHED.
TIP GUARD OF SCABBARD IS MISSING (SEE PHOTOS), & AS A CONSEQUENCE THE BOTTOM 5\" OF THE BLADE NEAR TIP SHOWS SOME LIGHT TARNISH/OXIDATION & A FEW TINY SURFACE RUST SPOTS (LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD CLEAN UP PRETTY NICE).
AS MENTIONED TIP OF SCABBARD IS MISSING, FITTINGS DO SHOW SOME TARNISH/WEAR, ORIGINAL HANGER CLIPS STILL ATTACHED.
SWORD COULD DEFINITELY USE A GOOD POLISHING/CLEANING!
OVERALL THIS IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF AN ORIGINAL 1900-1920 ERA M1852 NAVY SWORD BY A HARD TO FIND MAKER!
