FINE CONFEDERATE CAVALRY SABER MADE BY LOUIS HAIMAN, COLUMBUS, GEORGIA.

This is a classic product of probably the largest maker of Confederate cavalry sabers with lap seamed scabbard with brass ring mounts and iron drag. Oil cloth wrap with iron wire. Most Haiman products had leather grips which are generally highly dried and flaked. This sword is thought to be late production using tarred sail cloth which on this example is all intact. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Very good overall. 34-1/2″ single fullered blade shows old sharpening and is razor sharp in areas, with staining and light pitting, tip of point is broken. Still retains protective washer, though broken and glued back in place. Grip retains virtually all of its tarred canvas grip and complete iron wire wrap. Scabbard body has been painted black, missing throat flange. Brass scabbard mounts, hilt and pommel have a matching medium mustard patina. 52438-3 JS (3,000-4,000) – Lot 3496
