Product Overview
The Confederate Foot Officer's Sword (Memphis Novelty Works) is a historically inspired Civil War reproduction based on one of the most recognizable Confederate officer swords produced by the Memphis Novelty Works of Memphis, Tennessee. Associated with Thomas Leech and Charles Rigdon, this distinctive pattern was carried by Confederate foot and staff officers and remains highly sought after by collectors of Civil War militaria.
The sword features a tempered carbon steel blade paired with an ornate brass guard decorated with floral motifs. A raised "CS" emblem cast into the counter guard highlights its Confederate heritage, while the wood grip is covered in leather and wrapped with twisted wire for an authentic period appearance.
