Ask An Expert-Question of the Month
Each month we highlight a question from our AskAnExpert service where you gain access to the largest community of antiques and collectibles experts on the net. 

 Q.I just recently bought this 1840 NCO civil war sword. My question is what does the number 52 on the handle stand for?

A. These numbers are considered "rack" numbers...that is, if a great number were in arsenals they would have been stamped consecutively for identification.
