Sword Identification Help

[fred w]

hello all, new to this site, need help on the identification of a sword, figured this be a good place to start

i'm a civil war history buff, and my mom bought me this sword about 5 years ago, the price tag had "Civil War??" written on it, it was from an antique store.

After doing some research I'm almost positive it isn't and it is a M1902? sword
There are no markings of where it was manufactured, except in one of the pictures there is something that either looks like 66 C, or gg c, I have no knowledge of antique swords.

any help would be appreciated, looking forward to visiting these forums

AFAIK, it is not a Civil War era weapon. It is not anything I recognize as of U.S. issue. Other's will likely have more information to offer. Welcome to MILSURPS! There are lots of good people here. Sincerely. bruce.

Some overall views would help, but I believe you have it correctly identified as a Model 1902. There were quite a few variations in the Model 1902, but yours has the typical features of the Model 1902.

It is an Italian Officer's sword. No idea as to model number or date of production.
