I am looking for an 1850 foot officers sword to display on my wall. Can anyone recommend reputable dealers or auction sites.
Can’t go wrong with that offer!The Franklin show is coming up 1st week in December. It is a very big show and will have what you are looking for. If you would like I can do for you what I did for captaindrew and see what I can find for you.
A nice addition to my collection. | Edged Weapons
I've been on the hunt for a while for a good M1850 Foot Officer's Sword. I've been asked to serve as an officer in one of the reenactment groups I belong to. I really wanted an original sword over a reproduction. Wanted a solid piece with a metal scabbard that could be used in the field yet not...civilwartalk.com
maybe I should too. I'm in the market or got my eyes open for one they labeled the Petersen-75, with or with out the scabbard.I live in Nebraska so there are no shows within a days drive from here. More interest in WW11 in this area. I sent ucvrelics a private message taking him up on his offer
The "Peterson 75's" are interesting swords to collect in and of themselves. They are also often reasonably priced. I have 4, each with a different variation of the cut out iron hilt. The blades on the swords could range from rather common etching patterns to very unique, including gold washed blades, etc. I would like to add one with the brass cut out hilt to my collection at some point. I did see that Shiloh Relics did have 3 of the iron cut out variety for sale, price was not bad on a couple and they all had scabbards.maybe I should too.

I’m looking for an M1850 Staff and Field Officer’s Sword. The US has been altered with the right side of the U cut or filed to resemble a C. There is a VERY generous reward or finders fee for this family heirloom. It was my Great Grandfather’s sword. He was wounded at Vicksburg. The sword was stolen from my home in 1978. I’m offering three times it’s value on the antique market. Please feel free to text or call me at 1(314)503-2759. Leave a message so I don’t block the number.I am looking for an 1850 foot officers sword to display on my wall. Can anyone recommend reputable dealers or auction sites.
Thanks. It was stolen from my home in St. Louis, Missouri. I noticed it was missing after a teenage party where strangers showed up and ransacked the house. Lesson learned…Keep a eye on E-Bay and Craigs List . What city and state was it stolen from ? It may not have traveled far . Best of luck.
I would recommend you start a new thread in the collecting forum here and perhaps it can even be pinned by one of the moderators. Good luck. I hope someday it makes it’s way back into your family where it belongs forever.Thanks. It was stolen from my home in St. Louis, Missouri.
