Swords & sabers of the Civil War
All weapons listed on this webpage are strictly manufactured before 1898, and are not warranted as safe 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. 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.

Firearms (pre 1898) of the Civil
War
All weapons I sell are "pre 1898 weapons". This exempts antique firearms from regulation, which means that they can be owned, or shipped through the mail, no permitting or licensing is required.
The complete text of the law can be found in the Cornell online law library:
http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00000921----000-.html
The following relevant excerpt is taken from the law:
(3) The term �firearm� means
(A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may
readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive;
(B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon;
(C) any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or
(D) any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm.
(16) The term �antique firearm� means�
(A) any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion
cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898; or.....
This means that pre 1898 weapons are excluded from the law by definition, therefore none of the rest of the law applies to antique weapons made before 1898. One caution though, the weapons can be dangerous if not properly handled or used maliciously, so please be careful with them.
