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.  

W0779 Officer saber, F Potter 
 

This saber is believed to have been made by F Potter, Soligen. It was clearly made for the US market, it bears a patriotic guard bearing "US", and blade etched with "US". The handle resembles an earlier British design, the all steel guard and handle resemble other products imported through Tiffany. The ricasso is marked "PROOF" on an brass inlay, and shows graphic of a hare's head and "FP" 
Sharkskin wrap and wire intact, iron guard, blade is clean, "US" etching is weak but definite, scabbard shows light rust only. 
Blade length 33.5 inches 
Ref: Thillman Swords pg. 291 $900.00
