IMPORTED CAVALRY SABER WITH PURPORTED CONFEDERATE CAPTURE. You are bidding on an imported Cavalry saber with 33″ blade which is nearly 1-1/2″ wide. Blade is marked “Wooley & Co” as is scabbard. Sword and scabbard overall are in very good condition, blade having old sharpening and minor pitting. The hilt and grip are complete and very good. There is an approx. 6″ x 2″ pasted label as seen in photographs which reads “Sword and Sash of Rebel Col. E. C. Brabble 32nd No. Carolina Reg’t., Captured with him May 3, 1863, in front of Richmond, VA. Skillen Post No. 47, G.A.R. Rome, N.Y.” The ink in this tag is hard to date, we can not guarantee when this tag was done, you be the judge. This sword is indeed a rarely seen import Cavalry of high quality with a massive blade which could’ve been easily carried by a Confederate Officer. CONDITION: As noted above. 4-35906 JS (500-1,000)
