These fine reproduction sabers are faithful copies of the ones used during “The Civil War.” Made with good attention to detail by a former British military contractor in India. Hand forged blades are British military spec steel. This makes for tough blades that will flex over 20° and return to true. Each leather handle is wire wrapped.
Though not as long as its Union counterpart, the blade of this sword was just as effective for thrusting and slashing. Faithfully copied from a sword style made by James Conning in Mobile, Alabama, the brass basket and pommel bares nicely hand chased floral designs with "CS" featured prominently. the 32" blade has an unstopped fuller. Blue steel scabbard has brass fittings. This sword led many a bonnet charge. The sword is 47" overall
This saber is just like the old one carried by General Joe Shelby, the Missouri Cavalry Raider who never surrendered his command. This fine sword has"C.S.A." crisply acid etched on the 32" long, hand forged blade. "C.S. is cast into the guard with excellent detail. The scabbard is blue steel, with brass throats, mounts, rings and drag. The length is 38" overall. Beautifully finished.
Of all the Confederate swords and sabers, this was the one most used. Wielded by the troops under the command of J.E.B. Stuart, Wade Hampton and Nathan Bedford Forrest, this sword dispatched hordes of Union soldiers. This is a very distinctive saber with a brass guard similar to that of an 1860 which, itself was a copy of an earlier French saber. The 34" long blade has the classic Confederat "unstopped" fuller. The scabbard has brass furniture, ring mounts and drag. 40" overall length.
