Description
Unmarked Confederate Cavalry Saber Attributed to College Hill Arsenal, Nashville, Tennessee. 39.25" overall length with 33.5" blade. An unquestionably southern-made weapon, this saber has a large brass guard with an oddly extended quillon retaining its maker's file marks. The wooden grip is wrapped in oilskin secured by copper wire. The slightly curved blade has a single fuller extending most of its length. The iron scabbard is accented with brass ring mounts and throat. A few minor nicks along the cutting edge of the blade, wear to grip and light rusting on the scabbard. Only six known to exist and one of the rarest Confederate Cavalry officers' sabres.Auction Info
