That maker is identified by one source as active 1870-88 producing swords for militias and secret societies. This example is made to the standard militia NCO specifications and likely was the sword of a state militia Non-Commissioned Officer. Plated hilt with excellent reeded bone grip and pommel surmounted by an eagle. Original plated scabbard with no dents and the plating is complete and bright. NCO's purchased their own swords from sword dealers and owned them after retirement.

CIVIL WAR MILITIA SWORD POSSIBLY CONFEDERATE, C.1840-50. C.1840-50. As carried by Non Commissioned Officers in both the North and South. See The American Sword, Peterson, #11. 25 1/2” double edged blade. Brass hilt, formerly gilt, with reeded bone grip. State militias comprised the majority of combatants at the outbreak of the Civil War. As this sword survived the war and later, it can surely be assumed to have served. The absence of the stars and bars logo as found on the langets of many of these including this one, may indicate Southern use, as the prospect of war was festering by the 1830's. The doctrine of nullification was made law in South Carolina and resulted in 1832, in which President Andrew Johnson threatened to send Federal troops to enforce the tariff laws. South Carolina's militias were called up and the state prepared for war. From the famous Frank Barnyak collection.

Creary” in 1864 at Brooklyn, New York she was acquired by the Union Navy on 30 May, 1864 and simultaneously renamed “Wilderness”. She fitted out at the New York Navy Yard and was commissioned on 20, July 1864, being immediately assigned to the 2nd Division of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. After serving briefly at Hampton Roads and the James River she was sent to the North Carolina coast where she was fitted with four 24-pounders in October, 1864. She went into action almost immediately and on the night of 31 October while patrolling off New Inlet, North Carolina, pursued and captured the British blockade runner “Annie”. In December she participated in the attacks on Ft. Fisher where she assisted in the failed attempt to breach the fort by towing the sidewheel steamer “Louisiana” filled with explosives near the fort's walls. The ship exploded as planned but had little effect. On January 13, 1865 “Wilderness” brought troops to within 500 yards of the shore where they were loaded on boats for the final assault on Ft. Fisher. She was decommissioned on 10 June 1865 and transferred to the Treasury Department and served as a revenue cutter in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1873 she was renamed “John A. Dix” and was eventually sold in 1891.
