Confederate Cavalry Officer's Sabre, CSA, American Civil War Replica
A Faithful Replica with an Eye for Detail
This replica has been crafted with a keen sense of historical accuracy. It has an overall length of approximately 98 cm and a weight of around 1022 g without its scabbard, giving it an authentic and balanced feel in the hand. Its defining feature is the gently curved, 81.5 cm blade made from hardened carbon steel, which is decorated on both sides with detailed, acid-etched ornamentation. One side of the blade proudly bears the inscription "CSA" (Confederate States Army), while the other is covered in intricate floral patterns.
Your hand is reliably protected by the elaborate brass guard, which is stamped with the letters "CS" (Confederate States). The hilt is constructed from solid wood, wrapped in genuine black leather, and bound with twisted brass wire for a firm and secure grip. The sabre is accompanied by an elegant black scabbard made of construction steel, featuring finely crafted brass fittings and two suspension rings for attaching to a belt or saddle.
A Symbol of Status and a Weapon of War
This type of sabre, based on the popular US Model 1860 Light Cavalry Sabre, was an indispensable part of the equipment for cavalry officers on both sides of the American Civil War (1861-1865). It was not only a deadly weapon in mounted skirmishes but, above all, a visible symbol of rank, status, and authority. An interesting fact is that the rattling of sabres and their glint in the sun often had a greater psychological impact on the morale of enemy infantry than the actual casualties they inflicted in battle. Original pieces were often gifts from subordinate soldiers or family, and their owners would have them personally decorated to underscore their pride and position.
Modern Uses for the Replica

- Collectors: Enhance your collection with an iconic weapon from American history.
- Re-enactment and Living History: An excellent and safe accessory for a Confederate officer's costume.

Caring for Your New Sabre

For long-term storage, apply a thin coat of oil (e.g., mineral oil, petroleum jelly, or a specialist gun oil) to prevent corrosion. The brass parts can be revived with a metal polish if needed.
