This sword came to us via trade and I found it on the net in an auction from early 2009. The sword is in very good to fine condition and was very dry and dirty when it came in. I added a thin coat of Hoppe's oil and all the crust that was in the cracks and creases turned a nice, dark color that contrasted much better to the dirty, dried-out look. The entire sword is very sound and original. Camp enlisted as a Sergeant in the 4th Ohio on June 6, 1861 and was promoted to 2d Lieut. August 9, 1st Lieutenant June 21, 1862, and Captain March 1, 1863. This sword was obviously presented from the period June 1861 thru February 1863. During Camp's term of service the regiment was engaged initially in West Virginia, and subsequently with the Army of the Potomac, including actions at the major battles of Cedar Creek, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, The Wilderness and Spotsylvania. Fine sword, great history.
