Civil War Swords in Reenactments

Hey out there. It's been a while since my last post and I hope you don't hold it against me. It seems that since we moved back to Texas there hasn't been much spare time. Luckily there has been some work available but that's slowed down and we're pretty well settled in now so maybe I'll get back on schedule.

You'll notice the last post was on Civil War weapons and their use in reenactments. So why do we put swords (and knives) in a different category? Because there was such a wide variety of swords used in the Civil War. Both Confederate and US armies and navies had swords and sabers that were divided into officer and enlisted swords as well as different types or styles for infantry and cavalry. Even the musicians had their own swords! And we can't forget the fighting knives such as the Arkansas Toothpick and the famous Bowie knife.

The see all of these swords and knives go to the Civil -War-Costumes.com 's Civil War Reenactment department's Civil War Swords pages. You are welcome to just look around as there are plenty of swords and knives there. If you would be interested in owning one of the classic replicas you'll find some of the best prices on the Internet. You may even want to go on over to the Civil War Relics department and check the authentic swords, knives and other relics that were actually used in the Civil War.
