Confederate Sword Hanger
SOLD
This excavated Confederate sword hanger is in excellent condition and was recovered in the area of Charlestown, WV. It is constructed of cast brass which now has a very pleasing dusty green patina. It measures approximately 2-1/2 inches in overall length. These devices hung from the leather sword belt and were designed to carry the officer's swords. It has no cracks, breaks, or repairs.
