Is this a legitimate Civil War sword or a later type? I'm thinking about making an offer on it and wonder what is it's value. Thanks

The scabbard looks like a rusty reproduction and not original to the sword. In general, Tom Nardi's old price guide is still pretty valid but the numbers relate with a proper scabbard. Look at Emerson&Silver 1864 examples on the internet for comparisons.

I would look elsewhere but that is just me. I would be hard pressed to offer anything, as it just presents as a very troubled piece. The picture of the overall doesn't show anything that would draw me in, even in the $100-$150 range.

 

Cheers
