The two piece pomell is stair-stepped. The scabbard is stiffened leather, top sewn which is loose at places, with pinned brass mounts. The drag is missing its footer. Condition of both is Very Good. Boyle & Gamble was a Richmond, Virginia, sword-maker located near the old Virginia Arsenal. They produced a variety of edged weapons for private purchase and, as Boyle, Gamble & McFee, produced edged weapons under Confederate contract. Their swords were based generally on the models used by the Federal army but the details were considerably different.
