Fine Tiffany & Co. New York Civil War Iron Hilted M1840 Cavalry Saber. Hilt about perfect with dark age patina. Leather wrapped grip excellent with just one small spot where it appears to have been struck and the leather is chipped. Twisted brass wire wrap about perfect. Blade light grap, one small area with just a hint of sharpening and a couple of very minor nicks, absolutely no rust or pitting. Tiffany & Co. and P.D.L. a bit weak but legible, which is not uncommon on these sabers. Retains the original buff leather washer. Scabbard smooth and gray, about mint with two digit numeral stamped near the throat. Nice sword and quite scarce in this fine condition.
