CIVIL WAR ERA OFFICER'S SWORD KNOT FROM GEORGE

Item Details

Description

CUSTER FAMILY DESCENT. There are many photographs of George Armstrong Custer. Only one we are aware shows a sword knot. That sword knot is shown on his cavalry saber he bought from Horstmann in New York after leaving West Point. Custer is only a lowly lieutenant in this May 1862 photograph. He wrote "I left West Point on the 18th of July, 1861, for Washington, delaying a few hours that afternoon on my arrival in New York to enable me to purchase, of the well-known military firm of Horstmanns, my lieutenant's outfit of sabre, revolvers, sash, spurs, etc". CONDITION: good overall, tassels not tied at bottom like when made but complete. PROVENANCE: Direct descent from descendants of James Calhoun Custer; Martin Lane Historic & Western Americana Lifetime Collection. (02-21442-6/JS). $500-1,000.
