Antique appraisal

I inherited some interesting things when my father passed away last May. One is an 1860’s Springfield breech load rifle, one is a Civil War sword with metal scabbard, and one is a WW2 survival knife and sheath issue to the then Army/Air Force. Is there anyone within an hour or so from Summerville with any knowledge?

I would start by talking to some of the folks at the Museum at Market Hall, I am sure someone there could put you on the path.

I looked them up, looks like a great idea to visit them. The Springfield is 1867 so not Civil War but the sword is a Confederate General sword dated 1861.
