Description
Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber. A solid example of a pattern adopted just before the outbreak of the Civil War and used until the 1880s. The basic design was based on a French pattern (as were many U. S. swords). The single-edged blade is curved with a rudimentary false edge. There are two fullers - a broad fuller running from the ricasso to within about 10" of the point, and a shorter narrow one at the back of the blade. The blade measures 35" in length by about 1" at the hilt. The overall length is 41". The brass guard is of the half-basket type with a knuckle-bow and two branches on the obverse side joining an oval counter-guard. The pommel is of the Phrygian helmet pattern. The grips are wood covered with leather and wound with twisted brass wire. The scabbard is iron with two rings for suspension and a drag. The blade of this example is significantly spotted with worn grips and the brass wire wrapping slightly loose, otherwise it is in very good condition.Auction Info
