#15497 - 1862 Presentation Sword to J. Harwood by Family
Often on marching off to uncertain warfare, Families, Civic Groups, and admiring soldiers often presented a sword to an NCO or Officer. These had the soldier recipient's name, unit, and often date engraved on the metal mount of the scabbard. This CW Era Union Officer's Sword was presented to J. Harwood, a sergeant of the 51 st Massachusetts Infantry by "By Harwood Brothers". It came through family descendants with a partial leather scabbard and a faded Officer of the Day sash/ tassels. A concrete link to a real soldier who survived the war and joined his local GAR post.
