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.  

W0707 Cavalry Saber, Model 1840 , Horstmann 
 

The model 1840 saber was a relatively heavy cavalry saber and was called the "wrist breaker". Steel scabbard with iron mountings. Ricasso is marked "HORSTMANN / & SONS / PHILADELPHIA" Scabbard is marked "S&K / GM" The mark dates this to late 1840's. Horstmann assembled the sabers but did not produce many of the parts. This is "Type II" Horstmann sword, the key parts were imported from Prussia. Leather wrap and wire original with wear, leather washer intact, blade is clean, scabbard is correct and original, Nice example from one of the scarcer makers. 
Blade length 36 inches
