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.
W0785 Cavalry Saber,
Model 1840 , unknown maker
The model 1840 saber was a relatively heavy cavalry saber and was
called the "wrist breaker". Steel scabbard with iron mountings.
Ricasso is not marked. Lack of marks means it was either bought by a state or
militia organization that did not require inspection, or was factory rejected
and sold or was private purchase from a European maker, likely Prussian. Iron
scabbard with iron mountings.
The grip is missing the leather wrap, wire is loose, leather washer intact,
handle is loose with a wiggle, clean blade, scabbard intact with pitting.
Blade length 36 inches
Ref: Thillman Swords, not listed
Sold!
