CONFEDERATE CAVALRY SABER. You are bidding on a fine untouched example of a sword probably made in Tennessee. Ricasso is filed somewhat like a penknife blade. It is reminiscent of some identified Tennessee swords. Some people believe these are products of either Memphis, or Nashville Tennessee; regardless they are made by the a Confederate manufacturer, unknown at this time. Blade is 33-1/2″. Grip is leather with twisted brass wire. Scabbard is braised seamed with brass carrying rings and brass throat. Large flat iron drag is soldered into place. This example is in excellent condition overall, in “as found” condition with good patina throughout. If you are looking for just one fine example of the Confederate cavalry saber with no problems that is all classic Confederate in every regard, this would be a sword to consider. CONDITION: Very good. Leather grip is all present with minor chipping, and scuffing at high points. Twisted wire is complete, tight, and intact. Brass hilt, pommel, scabbard mounts, all retain similar matching yellow patina. Scabbard body has scattered scrapes, dings, and pitting. Blade is gray with some old cleaning. Orig protective washer is still present. 4-32236 JS10 (5,000-7,000)
