THE OFFICER'S SWORD
"Why wear a sword in a supposedly modern war dominated by firepower? Although there are undoubtedly undertones of a distant chivalric age connected with such a potentially brutal implement, it is not primarily a weapon, rather it is above all else, an insignia of rank – a sign of authority bestowed upon the officer by the State. As such, it is important to remember that the sword is part of an officer’s uniform and should be treated as an object of respect by the rank and file, but more importantly, by the individual wearing it."
The Civil War has produced numerous tales of bravery and heroism from both sides of the conflict. This historic replica will bring back the flavor of the past and serve to remind us of our heritage and of this difficult time in our nations's history. A patriotic addition to any collection this historic replica is ready to display in your home, office, or field of reenactment battle. |
