Item #: DROL3366
Click on an image to enlarge
Kenansville Froelich Cavalry Sword with original leather grip. The blade is great and the brass grip is complete. one outside guard has a push which shows it was used in battle. I love it as is. The sword came out of New York definitely a war trophy brought back after the war by a union soldier. It will make a great addition to your collection.

Louis Froelich was a tough man to keep down. A skilled "mechanic,” he emigrated from Bavaria in early 1861, settled in Wilmington, NC, ran a button factory and then set to making edged weapons for the Confederacy. He was swindled by a business partner, had his operation shut down by a yellow fever epidemic, had has reopened factory burn to the ground, moved his operation to Kenansville for safety, where that factory was burned by a federal raiding party, and then set up business again, making more sabers, sword bayonets, bayonets, pikes, knives, axes, accouterments and other vital supplies for the southern war effort right up to the end of the war. He is thought to have produced close to 12,000 cavalry sabers, so if there is a "typical” Confederate cavalry saber, it is likely a Kenansville.

This is the quintessential Froelich-made enlisted cavalry saber, loosely patterned on a US 1840, but with flaring conical pommel, a guard that features two branches coming from the knucklebow at two different spots, and an oil cloth wrapped grip that is bound with wire. The brass has nice mellow, age patina. The branches are round in cross-section, with no breaks, and are in proper form. The blade has the typical Kenansville rounded back and single unstopped fuller. The good edge and point are good, as is the surface: generally gray in color mixed with darker gray spots,the blade is smooth, and only a couple of nicks on the blade. There is an old replacement scabbard that fits well..

Confederate swords combine history with a wonderful variety of craftsmanship ranging from the crude to the high-art that makes them a collecting field of their own. This is a nice example of an enlisted Confederate cavalryman’s saber by well recognized Confederate maker.
