US Army regulation 1850 pattern foot officer's sword with a scabbard. This Civil War presentation sword has an etched decor by Tiffany & Co and the ricasso of the blade is marked by Collins & Co. A metal fitting of the scabbard indicates that this sword was presented to Thomas Donnelly Doubleday (1816-1864) who was a bookstore owner and a Union Army officer in the American Civil War.
Thomas was brother to Abner Doubleday, the fabled inventor of baseball. Thomas’ son was my grandmother’s father.
That means the sword was assembled, personalized with the engraving on the scabbard by Tiffany & Co.
This piece is in medium condition. Most defects are visible in the photos, please message me for more particulars.
I am including a signed photo from Thomas Donnelly Doubleday with this auction.
