joe brennan There are thousands of so called Civil War swords on the market today that are made in China. Artificial aged and inscriptions added for them to look authentic. There is no way that anyone can tell these swords apart from authentic unless in person and highly trained to spot the forgeries. It takes nothing to add an inscription of a real soldier from the civil war. One bidder found information on this soldier. What stops the forger doing the same thing? I'm not authenticating this or dismissing it but unlike cards with clear photos this is highly risky at near $3000.00. These items are sold all the time for less that $100.
