This US COAST GUARD officer's sword dates to the years of the inception of the service, ca.1915-1925, and was manufactured by M.C. LILLEY & CO., in Columbus, Ohio. According to the WWI period M.C.Lilley sales catalog, this was their more expensive, deluxe model, with real shark skin on the grip, hand-chased bronze details of the hilt and the scabbard, and with the scabbard being of a metal wrapped in black leather. Sword shows signs of honest wear to the blade and gilding of the bronze; leather missing on section of the scabbard. ( refer to pictures) USCG abbreviation is displayed on the guard and the blade, which is 29.5", otherwise this sword is a twin of the US Navy officer's M1852 swords. A nice early US Coast Guard officer's sword dating back to World War I period? ; appears authentic but you must make that determination, please review the pictures closely. we are not sword experts! NOTE: There is a number "102" on the sword side and "102" on the scabbard in three places, appears as authentic but ??? super cool!
