Civil War Sword
Who got to have a sword in the civil war?
I know not every soldier was given a sword so who were given one? officers right? what rank did they have to have? or do?. I was also watching pirates of the caribbean and the patriot and the red coats all had swords even just the enlisted soldiers. Were they all given one? I know that was the time of the revolutionary war and the french and indian war. Maybe I mistaken the scabbards they were wearing for holding their bayonet instead.
Artillerymen were issued the Model 1832 Foot artillery sword, based on the Roman gladius.
Model 1832 Dragoon Saber
The Model 1840 Light Artillery Saber was issued to mounted artillery
Model 1840 Army Non commissioned Officers’ Swords were issued to infantry sergeants. The Marines had their own version
Model 1840 Cavalry Saber
Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber
The M1860 Cutlass was issued to naval boarding parties. Sailors also had access to axes, harpoons and grappling hooks.
The regulation officer’s sword was the Model 1850 Army Staff & Field Officers’ Sword though in practice most officers used cavalry sabers. Southern officers sometimes carried ancestral blades from the War of 1812 or even the American Revolutionary War.
Mameluke swords were carried by Marine officers.
Confederates would carry Bow knives instead of bayonets, including the Arkansas toothpick which could be used as a sword in combat, a hatchet to chop wood, a razor and a paddle in emergencies.
Native Americans fighting for the Confederacy used traditional weapons like the Tomahawk, spear or bow.
Early in the war Robert E Lee proposed issuing pikes to the Confederate army to compensate for the shortage of guns. A few were made and used for training but were never issued for combat.
