Product Overview
The Model 1850 sword is a distinguished example of the ornate officer's sword carried by staff and field officers in the mid-19th century. Known formally as the 1850 staff and field officers sword, it reflects the elevated status and ceremonial presence associated with commissioned leadership.
This historically inspired officer saber army pattern features a finely detailed brass guard with hand-chased foliage and a prominent “U.S.” set between the branches. The 30-inch blade is etched with foliage, military trophies, “U.S.,” “E Pluribus Unum,” and “Iron Proof,” maintaining the decorative character expected of a high-ranking officer's sword.
Prior to the Civil War, many officers—including General Robert E. Lee—carried variations of this model 1850 sword during earlier campaigns. Its balanced profile and elegant ornamentation made it both a practical sidearm and a symbol of authority.
The sword is paired with a blue steel scabbard, completing the formal presentation. Measuring 35 inches overall, this reproduction offers collectors and reenactors a refined interpretation of the classic 1850 staff and field officers sword.
