    [​IMG] Need help identifying this old scabbard I found in a barn I’m guessing it’s civil war but I’ve been wrong before, any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks

    Hi Aaron and welcome. You mean you found the sword with the scabbard? That’s cool.. Better to take detailed photos of the complete items and give the measurements. Looks like a replica of a Viking or Anglo Saxon sword or so to me,that’s been in that barn for quite some time.. (but Im no expert and other members will know better)

    The shape is what I think of as an artillery sword.

    What is the size?
    It looks more like a dagger than a sword to me, but it could be bigger than I think. A re-enactment or theatrical dagger?

    Looks shorter than I initially thought. Maybe a replica of a confederate artillery short sword like moreotherstuff said..

    interesting blade..
    the guard is very strange....
    I'm looking away from N.america....... for now....
    but it may have been pieced together.......

    any marks on the sheath?
