Sabers used by the United States cavalry and artillery in the Civil War are the most popular of all antique American swords. But until now, information about these fascinating weapons has been surprisingly scarce. Those days are over! In this long-awaited new book, John Thillmann (supported by what can only be called a "dream team" of famous sword experts) tells you everything you need to know. For instance, the selection of previously unknown makers and types (illustrated here for the very first time) is remarkable. It doesn't matter whether your interest is enlisted sabers, officers' sabers, militia purchases or exquisite presentation pieces. It's all in here: every maker, every importer, every foreign manufacturer, every assembler, every model and every variation - including unmarked examples! Over 50 color photographs, 1,373 B&W illustrations, coated paper.

(postage will be an additional $1 due to the weight of this title.)
