Rob, Actually, I have only one 'repro or fake sword. All of my blades are real, mostly naval Rev War to Spanish American War pieces. When I took on a square rigger, I gave up a large winchester collection, and enlarged my blade collection as they 'fit' the ship. Severall 1852 Naval, U.S.Marines, French cutlass,1860 cutlass, Confederate blockade run, etc. Only a field officer's has an edge, all naval are dull by specification.
