Movie Replicas Direct is proud to present the Civil War Confederate N.C.O. (Non-Commissioned Officer) Sword. The Civil War Confederate N.C.O. Sword design generally followed the official Union pattern of 1840, which in turn was based on a French design. The sword had a carbon steel blade, brass hilt and leather scabbard with brass fittings, as does this reproduction. The Civil War Confederate N.C.O.'s Sword was made by several swordmaking companies in the South during the course of the war. The pattern stayed in service for over 70 years. The sword adopted in 1859 and subsequently carried by noncommissioned officers (NCOs) of the United States Marine Corps is patterned after the U.S. ArmyŒÍs foot officersŒÍ sword of 1850, with minor differences. Marine NCO swords feature a cast-brass hilt with a half-basket guard; leather-wrapped grip bound with twisted brass wire; a slightly curved, single-edged blade with a wide central fuller and short false edge; and a black-leather scabbard with two brass mounts, including an upper mount with a stud for carrying in a leather belt frog, and a brass tip with drag.
