These include a sword given to Ulysses S. Early in his career, while establishing his reputation for the small and large-scale figural works that made him the most famous American sculptor of the Civil War era, Ward created models for a variety of decorative items and executed at least five important commissions for the design of presentation arms.
The beautifully conceived hilt of this sword was previously unrecognized as made from models created by the artist John Quincy Adams Ward (1830–1910) and appears to be the only complete hilt of this design to survive.
