519. EXTREMELY RARE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS INSCRIBED MODEL 1851 FOOT OFFICER'S SWORD CIRCA 1871-79. An extremely nice U.S. Model 1851 Foot Officer's Sword with a 28 ½" lightly curved blade signed "W.H. Horstmann & Son/Philadelphia" on the ricasso. The blade shows etched panels having floral decorations, stands of flags and trophies and a large "U.S." on one side of the blade. The gold washed hilt is of regulation form with a floral half basket counterguard, single knuckle bow, decorated pommel and a sharkskin and twisted brass wire wrapped grip. The scabbard is of wood, covered in sharkskin with three gold washed brass mounts. The inscription is placed horizontally on the top mount and reads: "Presented/to/David Whipple/2nd Lieut. U.S.M.C./as a Token of Friendship/by Lewis E. Bixler/Master U.S. Navy." David Whipple is listed as a 2nd Lieutenant commissioned on May 29, 1871. He achieved the rank of 1st Lieutenant on March 16, 1879 and died at Norfolk, Virginia March 1, 1884. Lewis E. Bixler entered the U.S. Naval Academy as a midshipman on September 26, 1865, graduating with the class of 1869. Promoted Ensign on July 12, 1870 he achieved the rank of Master on September 29, 1871. He became Lieutenant on December 1, 1874 and resigned his commission on June 30, 1886. It's difficult to tell what friendship these two officers enjoyed. Perhaps they made their acquaintance in Annapolis or, perhaps through joint service. A very nice presentation from a Navy officer to a Marine Corps officer. CONDITION: Very good, the sword blade is bright with no dark spots and deep etching. Much of the gild remains on the hilt and scabbard mounts. The grip is fine and the scabbard very well preserved.
