Often paired together
1860 union officer saber Great sword!!! Well balanced and made with good taper to avoid whippiness. The engraving looks much better in person than it does in the pictures, which is good because i though they might look cheap. However mine has some issues, the blade is curved to the left and the scabbard fits very loose so that the sword falls out if upside down and rattles when moving. I think most arent like mine from experience seeing others and you should buy this with confidence, it truly does seem well built, especially for the price.
Light but Powerful ….. Looks GREAT like a real officers’ sword I am going to be short .
This saber is very-good …… It does not deserve less than 4-5 stars .
I give it 5 ….. because to get a better one
sure as death you will need a lot more money .
It is lighter than similar swords but
strange as it may seem this sword cuts better .
Lighter but a better cutter … what do you want more ??
It looks gorgeous, I mean when you take it out of its scabbard …
with its etching that look better than in the picture !
The scabbard has
some nice-golden fixing and aristocratic details too .
When you handle it ,
although lighter than the NORMAL-version
this officer-saber makes you feel its deadly power
if you should land a blow on someone’s head or body .
Its tip is very pointy[careful] …. even in the not sharpened version
Scabbard is robust aristocratic and a weapon itself .
It should cost twice as much at least…. at least .
Beautiful sword. Feels good in the hand and well balanced. Very sharp. Great deal for the cost.
