Can anyone recommend a reference for Union swords that's still in print (or available for reasonable money)? I don't have any dedicated ACW sword references and with the price of goof material these days I don't want to just blindly search Amazon.

Consider “Civil War Army Swords; A Study of United States Army Swords from 1832 through 1865” byJohn Thillmann ….and if you can find it his book on Civil War Sabers. Not cheap, but highly worth it.

I'll agree with Dirk. Thillmann's 2 books are the best in my humble opinion. It took me a while to find a copy of the cavalry and artillery saber book that I could afford but I'm very glad I have it.
