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.
W0826 Cavalry Saber,
Model 1840 , Kirschbaum
The model 1840 saber was a relatively heavy cavalry saber and was
called the "wrist breaker". Ricasso is marked "K & C" in
rectangle form, this may be CR Kirschbaum, a Prussian maker. Iron scabbard with
iron mountings.
The grip has a replacement leather cover which is probably not period but can be
replaced, leather washer is missing, handle is loose, clean blade, scabbard
intact with light rust, inexpensive example good restoration candidate.
Blade length 35 inches
Ref: Thillman Swords pg. 249
Sold!
