Civil War Confederate N.C.O. Sword
As all Civil War swords, they were more effective during the early years of the war and as new modern weapons such as breech-loaders,repeating rifles and machine guns were introduced the sword became less effective and could only be used in close battles.
The Confederate N.C.O.’s Sword (SNA11) has a carbon steel blade, brass hilt and leather scabbard with brass fittings. It was a favorite of the Confederate Officer's, but as the war dragged supplies and replacements were difficult to come by because of the lack of money.
