“This elegant, pedigreed presentation sword is the most historic Confederate weapon we have ever had the pleasure to catalog. It literally shouts out its historic usage in one of the most famous & hard fought campaigns of the Civil War at which the Confederacy reached its 'high tide.' Carried by Brig. General Paul J. Semmes...of Georgia as he led his brigade...in an assault on the Little Round Top at Gettysburg, July 2, 1863, where he fell mortally wounded.” - Norm Flayderman
