The Nashville Plow Works Sword is a type of Civil War-era sword produced by the Nashville Plow Works company, a manufacturer of agricultural equipment that also produced swords and other military equipment during the war. The sword is a type of short sword or foot officer& #39;s sword, and is characterized by a brass or iron hilt with a curved hand guard and a straight blade with a single edge. The blade of the sword is typically marked with the words & #34;Nashville Plow Works& #34; or & #34;W.H. Horstmann and Sons,& #34; a Philadelphia-based firm that was contracted by Nashville Plow Works to produce swords during the Civil War. The Nashville Plow Works Sword was produced in relatively small quantities compared to some other types of Civil War swords, and is considered somewhat rare and collectible today. The sword is also notable for its association with the Nashville Plow Works company, which played an important role in the economic and industrial development of Tennessee and the broader South in the years following the Civil War.
