Product description
During the American Civil War (1861-1865) sabers were produced directly on American territory, but they were also imported en masse from Europe. As a result, there is a wide variation in the sabers used by both Union and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. This reproduction is based on a popular type of French sabers used on both sides of the war. Both officers and regular soldiers used this saber.
This saber has a peened pommel. The guard and pommel are made of gold-colored brass and have a light patina layer to achieve an antique effect. The grip is made of wood with black leather wrapping and twisted brass wire. The saber is delivered including a steel scabbard with suspension rings.

This item is produced in limited quantities only. This means that every piece is unique. Sizes & finish may vary lightly from piece to piece.
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
