CIVIL WAR CONFEDERATE FOOT OFFICER'S SWORD 06-A9 During the American Civil War, swords were still the most widely used edged weapon on the battlefields. There were a variety of models issued to the troops, and this one was the model issued to lower ranking officers of the Confederacy. This sword is ornately detailed, with brass guard, marked "CS", and a slightly curved 34" plain carbon steel blade. Complete with plain brass mounted steel scabbard. Produced similar to the original, they have an appearance of a time-worn antique. They are difficult to distinguish from the expensive genuine articles. This sword has a carbon steel blade and can be sharpened. This replica is display quality, and ideal for display, reenactment or theatrical use. Civil War 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."
