Confederate “CS & Star” Short Artillery Sword

Scarce Confederate short artillery sword featuring the distinctive crudely cast “CS” within the counterguard and a raised star motif on the pommel, characteristics long associated with this Southern-produced pattern. Intended as a close-quarters sidearm for artillerymen, these compact swords offered protection against cavalry attacks and saw active wartime service.

This example displays an attractive, untouched patina throughout the brass hilt, guard, pommel, and grip. As expected of Confederate manufacture, the casting exhibits the crude workmanship commonly encountered on authentic examples, including visible casting imperfections in the guard, grip area, and pommel star. The double-edged blade measures approximately 19 inches in length and retains its distinctive hammered construction with a pronounced central ridge. At some point in its history the blade was sharpened, resulting in slightly uneven edges, though it remains an honest and attractive wartime piece. The blade has developed a pleasing brown and gray patina that complements the hilt beautifully.

A solid, representative example of one of the most recognizable Confederate short sword patterns, displaying all the characteristics collectors look for in a genuine “CS & Star” artillery sword. No scabbard.
