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

All  items listed are believed to be authentic to the Civil War or as otherwise described. 

W0784    Cavalry Saber, Model 1840, maker not identified  
 

The model 1840 saber was a relatively heavy cavalry saber and was called the "wrist breaker". Steel scabbard with iron mountings. Ricasso is not marked. Lack of marks means it was either bought by a state or militia organization that did not require inspection, or was factory rejected and sold or was private purchase from a European maker, likely Prussian. Iron scabbard with iron mountings.
The grip has leather wrap and wire intact, leather washer intact, handle is tight and secure, clean blade, scabbard intact with light rust.
Blade length 36 inches
Ref: Thillman Swords, not listed             $750.00
