Produced without maker's marks, this sword is attributed as the product of E.J. Johnston & Company. Operating out of Macon, Georgia, the exact range of operation of the firm is unknown; they were noted in 1862 as being capable of producing 150+ swords a week, and Macon itself fell to the Union in April of 1865. Measuring 35 1/2 inches overall, this sword is fitted with an unmarked 29 3/4 inch single fuller blade, fitted with a ribbed hardwood grip and a cast brass guard and pommel. Overall configuration is closely patterned after the antebellum U.S. Foot Officer sword, with floral and vine motifs in the brass. With a brass-fitted brown leather scabbard, marked "66" on the rear of the tip.
