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.  

W0828     British infantry officer�s sword pattern 1822 to 1845  
 

This is believed to be a pattern 1822 to 1845 British infantry officer�s sword.  The cipher in the guard and on the blade appear to be for Victoria.  The sword shows features of both 1822 and 1845. The 1822 pattern had a pipe backed blade and a folding counterguard.  The 1845 had a flat backed blade with no folding guard.  However, it is not unusual for British officer�s to have re-hilted their old guards with new blades.   The proof slug in the blade suggests that it dates to after 1850. There is a directory listing for W. Jones who sold swords in London  at 236 Regent Street from 1859-1888. 
Handle is sharkskin, brass guard, brass scabbard, floral etchings on the blade, ricasso has brass inlaid mark which I cannot read, other side is etched "J JONES/ 6 / REGENT'S/ LONDON" 
Blade length 32 inches 
Ref: British sword    Sold!
