Description

I have a sword i stumbled across through a friend that strongly resembles a ames civil war saber or a tiffanys but i cant find any markings on it. It is definently old as the shieth and blade show some age but i have no idea who made it how much its worth or even how i can sell it as i'm needing money if it turns out to be real or lagitimate. Theres drawn etching in the side of the blade each side. I know it was hammered because the stem inside the handle has hammering marks.
