Description

Type: American Civil War Officer's Sidearm ​Model: 1850 Foot Officer ​Retailer: W.H. Horstmann & Sons (Philadelphia) ​Blade Maker: Gebrüder Weyersberg (Solingen, Germany) ​Markings: "IRON PROOF" (Spine), "King's Head" Stamp (Ricasso), "W.H. Horstmann & Sons" (Ricasso) ​Blade Etchings: Eagle, "U.S.", and "E Pluribus Unum" ​Scabbard: Authentic Shagreen (Sharkskin) with Scalloped Brass Mounts ​Detailed Description ​This is a premium, investment-grade Model 1850 Foot Officer’s Sword that boasts features rarely found in standard field-grade specimens. Retailed by the elite W.H. Horstmann & Sons of Philadelphia, this sword features a high-performance Solingen blade produced by the Weyersberg family. ​Key Authentication Features: ​"IRON PROOF" Spine: The top edge of the blade is clearly etched "IRON PROOF," a mark of superior tempering and quality control reserved for high-end officer commissions. ​Weyersberg King's Head Stamp: A crisp, stamped bust of a king is visible on the ricasso, confirming the blade's Solingen, Germany heritage. ​Patriotic Etchings: The blade displays deep, legible etchings including the Great Seal/Eagle, a bold "U.S.", and the "E Pluribus Unum" ribbon. ​Shagreen Scabbard: Unlike common leather scabbards that have rotted over time, this sword retains its original shagreen (sharkskin) wrap. The texture is excellent, and the brass mounts are firmly seated with a deep, original patina.
