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.
W0827 Officer saber,
unknown Soligen maker
This saber was clearly made for the US market, it bears a plain guard
with blade etched with "US". It is marked "SOLIGEN" with
arrows in an oval border, this probably means it originated with one of the
Prussian makers Sharkskin wrap is intact, wire is loose, etching is clear with
some areas of pitting. Scabbard is intact. This sword could stand more research.
Blade length 35 inches
Ref: US Officer sword, private purchase, Prussian
origin
Sold!
