Weapons of the Civil War
All weapons listed on this webpage are strictly manufactured before 1898, and are considered unsafe for actual use. These are antique collectible weapons of the Civil War (most are pre 1865, unless I state otherwise) and actual firing of these weapons is not recommended for any purpose whatsoever! Because these are all "pre 1898" weapons, no licenses are required for ownership, but common sense and good judgment are real good things to have.
W0689 Model 1860 Cavalry Saber,
Emerson & Silver 1863
The model 1860 saber was made slightly lighter than the
model 1840 and was the primary saber of the Federal cavalry by the end of the
war. Ricasso is marked "EMERSON (arched) / & / SILVER / TRENTON / NJ" and "NJ /
1863" This was contracted by the state of New Jersey. Iron
scabbard with iron mountings.
This one is equipped with a "wrist strap" a leather strap used to secure the
sword during a fight, these are scarce to find. Leather wrap and
wire is replacement, guard may be from another manufacturer, leather washer
intact, blade is clean, scabbard intact, tight fit is due to bend in
scabbard, desirable sword with mid war date from one of the scarcer
makers.
Blade length 35 in.
