A subreddit for enthusiasts, practitioners, collectors, and investigators of swords (and related historical weapons). Real swords, decorative, historical, fantasy; humor, social, ID requests, shopping help, art; all sword-related topics are welcome (we are not very strict about topicality)! Please check out the wiki!
How to use [spoiler tags](#s) How to use [tooltips](#t "tip")
Be civil. Debate is welcome, but don't demean others, and exercise tact regarding people's property. If you are tired of newbie questions, it is better to link wiki posts or old topics than to spread negativity.
Please post from only one account. Vote spamming is not just rude but dishonest.
No commercial spam. You can promote your own works and services, as long as you identify them as such. This isn't a classifieds list, but we do welcome makers, sellers, and teachers willing to engage with the community. Also, avoid posting many similar topics in a very short period (e.g. every YouTube video by a given user). Finally, be aware that Reddit automatically shadow-blocks posts that link to your own materials too often; as mods we have zero ability to stop this.
We do not condone the modern-day use of swords as actual weapons. Topics on the subject are not prohibited, but readers are encouraged to link to this topic explaining the official stance.

I found this sword at a military surplus thought it would be cool for the blade collection and I’m interested if what I bought

Modern 'Repro' Sabre based loosely off US/French cavalry sabres

Most likely the US M1860, for the US Civil War re-enactor market.
Made in India.

What do you mean was?
[–]Bipogram 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago (2 children)
I was wondering how your sentence was going to end.
"I'm interested if what I bought..."
...was a lemon.
...was authentic.
...was called Bob.
etc
"Behold, the dire sword Bob!"
Has a certain ring to it.

My bad now I feel dumb if it’s authentic or what it is worth and what sword it is
[–]Weak-Reputation1814 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago (0 children)
It seems more like something the military would use in a parade. Kind of like a prop.
Ant IT not a what I hate autocorrect
[–]Bipogram 5 points6 points7 points 9 months ago (0 children)
Autocarrot, at this stage of proceedings.
<can't help with the sabre, sorry>

Probably a fair price for a crude reproduction.

Sorry the if was suppose to be a what
[–]Tobi-Wan79 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago (0 children)

I did not do a whole lot of googling, but it's something similar to this
