Civil War Swords - British Infantry Officer's Sword
As all swords used during the Civil War, 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 1897 pattern British Infantry Officer’s sword was developed towards the end of the reign of Queen Victoria. The three-quarter basket and finely etched 32 ˝” blade both carry the cipher of Edward VII. This very well made sword is ideal for the military re-enactor.
