Blades of the Civil War

Having carefully looked into which weapons we'd like to use for the film, we finally decided upon our purchase. George Atzerodt's sword, which eventually becomes Abe's, is a straight-edge 1840 Non-Commissioned Sword. For John Wilkes Booth, we've purchased a Confederate Cavalry Saber as his primary weapon of attack and an Old Fashioned Horn Folder knife as his backup. All of the weapons purchased fit the period of the piece (1865) perfectly and we can't wait to get our hands on them and begin choreographing some awesome fight scenes.
