Offered is an original Civil War-era sword scabbard relic, reportedly recovered from the Lee property near Newton Grove, North Carolina, in 1979.
This substantial dug relic consists of a surviving section of the iron sword scabbard retaining its original brass suspension band and hanging ring assembly. The brass mount displays attractive decorative detail and aged patina, while the iron scabbard body exhibits extensive oxidation and surface wear from long burial.
According to the accompanying collector’s note, the suspension mount is stamped with the number “4” and was one of the more unusual scabbard relics recovered by the original finder.
The surviving brass hardware remains especially appealing, with its decorative design still visible despite age and ground exposure. The hanging ring is also still present, giving the piece an immediately recognizable military appearance.
The relic was reportedly found on the Lee property near Newton Grove, North Carolina, an area that saw considerable Civil War military movement during the final campaigns of the conflict.
Condition: Excavated relic condition with heavy oxidation, pitting, splitting, and metal loss to the iron scabbard body. The brass suspension band and ring remain attached and show attractive aged patina and surviving decorative detail. Please examine all photographs carefully.
A striking Civil War sword relic with old North Carolina recovery history, ideal for collectors of cavalry equipment, edged weapons, and battlefield artifacts.
