Category: American Swords

A small section on the swords of the United States of America. Not a focal point of this collection, but now and then one finds its way onto this site. It is interesting to see how their development was influenced by other nations. Initially, a British influence can be seen and later a French influence. As we enter the 20th century, more original designs begin to appear.
