Here are the updated pics of the "Model 1860". It took me a couple of days to clean it but I think it came out pretty good. After I cleaned it I picked it up and held it. WOW ;D what a feeling. It is incredible to think that the last person to hold this sword was 140 years ago and they were fighting in the Civil War. It is an awesome feeling being able to hold a peice of history like this...

The first two shots are the before, the next two are actual color of the sword cleaned, the whole shot looks all gold but it is just the lighting. (one day I will get good at photography)

i agree with every one on this page, and if anyone says sell it....you get to name the price :)
