Old sword price help??

Luckymeh

I bought 4 swords off my friend for 35$ and I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me determine the prices of a couple of them. I'm looking to sell them by want to get a estimate of the prices first. I can post pictures and they have markings and dates on a couple of them also. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know one or possibly 2 of them are civil war swords from the confederate army

Post some photos.

Don't know anything about this topic other than to say that from watching Pawn Stars on Discovery TV, the main guy Rick has said on many occasions that most stuff that comes in to the shop with the owner claiming it's from the Civil War turns out to be fake.

Your first sword looks like the one featured here, a Boyle and Gamble foot officer's sword according to the video.....

'Boyle & Gamble' is clearly visible at the top of the blade just below the hilt guard in your first photo, that's how I tracked down that YouTube video.
