US Civil War M1850 Militia Officer Sword

Scarce and authentic American M1850 Militia Officer’s Sword, dating to the mid-19th century. A fine example of early U.S. militia officer weaponry, featuring gilt brass mounts with engraved decoration and a very finely etched steel blade.

The blade displays period etching typical of the Model 1850 pattern and retains good definition, showing honest age-related wear consistent with its history. Overall construction and details align well with known original examples of this model.

Measurements: • Overall length: approx. 38 inches • Blade length: approx. 31 inches

This sword shows signs of age, use, and storage, which should be expected for an antique of this era and only add to its character and authenticity.

Please carefully review all photographs, as they are an important part of the description and show the condition clearly. To ask any questions before bidding or purchasing.

A scarce and desirable piece for collectors of American militia swords and 19th-century edged weapons.
