Different Kinds of Replica Swords
Most people who are in the sword collecting business today collect replica swords. Actual swords from the era are in either museums or special collections, so the replicas are the next best thing. They range from any period of history, from the dark ages to the present. While swords aren’t used in combat today, there are still ceremonial uses for them in different militaries around the world. You can find replicas of most of these. My particular favorites have to be the depictions of swords from the middle ages. Without a doubt, these are the ones that take up the most space in my home. Another group of swords that I find quite interesting but do not collect myself are sabers, such as those of the U.S. Calvary and those used in the Civil War. However, I do have a friend that collects sabers and is also an aficionado of the Civil War and the old west. They are nice swords.
