Civil War Artillery Sword

[Fergusonjj]

I did some online research but I’d love to get an input from the group about this sword.

It appears to be an authentic U.S. Civil War-era M1832 Foot Artillery Sword,

See pictures

There’s no maker’s mark on it.

It’s a beautiful piece.

The instant I saw the brass work I said to myself, "Definitely modern..... looks like India or Pakistan ".
The scales, eagle, and other design elements are
crudely done; and have a clunky, muddy appearance.
Examination of authentic pieces from this era will
show you the far better craftsmanship that spoke to
the pride that many cutlers took in their work.

Next time, ask Google Lens. I did. Here’s what it says:

"The selected region appears to show a reproduction or decorative replica of a U.S. Model 1832 Foot Artillery short sword.

"Authenticity DetailsConstruction: Authentic 19th-century issued swords typically used a peened internal iron rod through the pommel rather than a small external decorative screw nut.

"Markers of Reproduction: Visible details—such as the threaded decorative nut at the very tip of the pommel and the overall casting texture—are characteristic of modern commemorative or decorative replicas rather than original historical pieces produced by makers like N.P. Ames."

Thank you!

This is exactly the kind of insight and advice that I’m looking to receive from the group.
