Sabers are the only weapons that we sell to individuals on our web site. This is because of the variety conflicting Federal, State, County and City laws regarding firearms. The information on these pages about 19th Century and early 20th Century firearms is offered as information and research material. We will add other items and add written descriptions as time is available. We offer some weapons services to production companies working on historical projects relating to the 1820's through 1920's. We also have several FFL licensed gun dealers that can serve as weapons masters. We can only sell or rent weapons as regulated by Federal, State and Local laws. Please don't ask or expect us to do anything else. Although we do not offer complete services, we are able to supply some automatic weapons (machine-gun) rentals to production companies, but ONLY when accompanied by one of our FFL Class 3 Dealers / Weapons Master. We have not yet uploaded pictures of all our weapons. |

On April 9, 1850, the US Army adopted a standard saber for all staff officers and for the field officers of infantry, artillery and riflemen. Like the foot officer's sword adopted the same day, it was based upon a French sword. It was used until 1872 when the lighter model 1860 became the regulation. The blade is slightly curved and is single edged with a false edge extending back nine inches from the point. It has a wide deep fuller which runs from ricasso to the beginning of the false edge, and there is a narrow fuller above the wide fuller which is about five inches shorter than the wide fuller. The obverse side of the blade is decorated with etched designs which include floral sprays, military trophies, an American eagle and a large ribbon with the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM". The reverse side also has similar etching with "U S" instead of the eagle and the ribbon. The blade bears the words "IRON PROOF". The pommel and hilt are brass and the grip is wood covered with black leather and wire bound. The scabbard is metal and black with brass mounts. Overall length: 38", Blade: 32" by 1 1/8inches wide at the hilt. Weight: 3 lbs. 9 oz.
