CONFEDERATE CAVALRY SABER.

CONFEDERATE CAVALRY SABER. This is a massive Confederate cavalry saber, overall almost 41″, with a blade of about 35″ long. This pattern has a distinct pommel and very long quillon as can be seen in photos. There is much conjecture as to who possibly made these swords, but most collectors feel this is a Western theater sword, possibly made in Tennessee. Dan Hartzler in his book “Confederate Presentation Swords and Revolvers” shows an identical specimen, identified to an enlisted Soldier from Natchez, MS. CONDITION: Sword is overall in good condition, blade is brown, scattered areas of staining and pitting, point has been rounded, protective washer is missing. The carved wood grip lacks any wrap and exposed wood has several cracks including one that runs the length of grip. One chip is missing near pommel about 1″ in length. There is a break in one branch, as can be seen in photos. Brass has numerous areas of scratching, were apparently scrubbed with an abrasive such as steel wool, which has removed much of the patinaed surfaces. 4-44093 JS159 (1,750-2,750)
