This publication gives the sword enthusiast an opportunity to observe edged weapons made, for the most part, in the United States that display regional characteristics that often transcend state lines. The makers of these swords, many of whom were silversmiths as well, had learned the skills and peculiarities of their masters during apprenticeship before yielding to the desires of the shop owner as journeymen. Later, many of these often relocated to new localities, practicing their former traits before they could open their own establishment, where they would be free to exercise their own creative ingenuities. Mr. Hartzler has done an excellent job in ferreting out edged weapons, especially swords, and their makers from throughout the country and identifying who they were and where and when they were in business. His identification of the styles and characteristics of the various swords, as well as the region from which they came, will be immensely helpful to students in their future study of these weapons. His unique method of presentation, illustrating what state or region these weapons originated from, as well as their individual characteristics, elucidate the various styles and traits developed throughout the different areas. One can also follow the travels of a sword maker by the pattern of his products.

"The first book devoted exclusively to the subject, this invaluable volume will aid collectors, curators, historians and anyone interested in weaponry to identify American swords. Enhanced with more than 400 illustrations from catalogs, manuals, and other rare documents, the book classifies and describes all major types of swords worn by the U.S. armed forces, cadets, and diplomats since the American Revolution to the end of World War II. Also included is a directory of American sword makers, an essay on the evolution of scabbards and methods of wearing swords, a discussion of sword nomenclature, and an appendix titled "American Silver Mounted Swords 1700-1815," which served as a catalog of an exhibition held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1955. This important addition describes small swords, sabers and hunting swords, and unique silver mounted swords. An invaluable guide to collectors and dealers, the comprehensive reference will delight students of weaponry and arms enthusiasts. Unabridged republication of the edition originally published by Robert Halter, The River House, New Hope, Pennsylvania, 1954. Appendix privately printed in Washington D.C., 1955. Index. 289 halftones; 117 black-and-white illustrations." -- publisher description (November 2006).
