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.
W0688 Naval Officers sword, Model
1852, Schuyler
The model 1852 officer sword was used before, during, and
after the Civil War and there were many design variations introduced . This one
is stamped "SH&G / NY" brass inlay on the ricasso. This is
Schuyler Hartley and Graham, who operated a military goods catalog from which
officers often ordered arms or accoutrements. Blade is etched (faint) with
patriotic designs, guard is cast with "USN" Sharkskin wrap and wire
grip original, blade clean, etching is weak, scabbard is also sharkskin with
brass mountings, shape and design is unconventional. Since this private retailer
was not subject to Federal inspections, sword cannot be dated definitely.
Blade length 27 inches
