Unknown Sword

I was visiting this antique store, and this sword for $95 caught my eye. I was wondering if anyone knew what it was and if it would be a good buy?

It appears to be a broken replica of a Model 1860 US Staff & Field Officer sword.  The guard appears to be broken with the clam-shell and D guard portions missing.  So, it was possibly a fraternal sword since it has a cast hilt instead of having a sharkskin grip wrapped in wire.

Ah, a replica, so not real then, also broken too. So what would be a good price, or is it worth nothing at all?

It is a bit too rough for me to even consider buying it I am afraid.  Maybe $50. for parts.

 

Just my humble opinion mind you.

Alright, thanks, I would try if it was real, but thanks for telling me it is just a replica. I’ll pass on this one too.
