Two Civil War or earlier Childs swords which were bought usually by Union or Confederate Officer or Enlisted for their children during the war. The first sword has a thin brass guard with thin quill ion. Pommel cap has capstan nut. Straight blade which is 17 1/2"Long X 5/8" wide & is smooth & rounded at end.  Sword overall is 21 1/2"L 7 in scabbard is 23 3/8"L. Wood grip. Heavier brass scabbard which is lap seamed with lead similar to the Scabbards made for Confederate Cavalry swords. The other child's sword may be a little earlier made. Slightly curved blade with fuller groove down the middle on one side. The blade is 20 1/2"L X 1/2" W. is dark. Nice thin black colored metal guard with etchings on front & plain inside. Thin metal pommel & cap  & is peening on cap. Black gutta percha grip with thin wire intact. Sorry, no scabbard on this one. Two nice child's swords which are not offered very often.
