U.S. Civil War Swords

From 1861 to 1865, America was viciously divided against itself destroying families, land and life during the U.S. Civil War. Swords and sabers were among the standard issue weapons for troops on both sides. Generals, Troopers, Officers and cavalry soldiers were each given swords that were customized for rank and purpose.

The Southern States (C.S.A) developed beautiful swords with elaborate hand guards and some even had engraved blades. Handle materials varied between swords and included stained wood, all brass, and leather which was wrapped with twisted brass wire. Most sword blades possessed the slight upward curve associated with traditional saber swords. However a few models were designed with straight blades and resembled the European "court swords" more than U.S. Civil War swords.

The Northern States (Union) primarily issued Civil War swords to cavalry soldiers, Infantry Officers, Staff Officers and Field Officers. The higher ranking officers enjoyed the most beautiful swords with elaborately made hand guards and engraved blades.

While your swords will likely be used for less heroic acts, you'll still enjoy the grandeur, grace, and power of these weapons. All of these Civil War swords are high quality historic replicas designed for reenactors (SCA-LARP). Now you can own a recreation of a wondrous Civil War sword too.
