SOUTH CAROLINA DRAGOON SABER.

SOUTH CAROLINA DRAGOON SABER. You are bidding on a rarely seen South Carolina enlisted model 1833 dragoon saber. This Ames made sword is unique to the State of South Carolina in that the state used a distinctive birds head pommel on their sabers instead of the stepped pommel used on other 33 dragoon models. This feature is seen on enlisted and officer’s swords. We know of only one officer’s sword and no more than 5 or 6 enlisted specimens and this is by far the best enlisted pattern known. This sword is maker marked by “NP Ames, Springfield” and has a 4″ etched panel “South Carolina 1835”. CONDITION: Blade is gray/bright with areas of cleaning and staining. Sword retains original washer. Hilt and grip overall are very good. Grip retains all original leather, though most of its original finish has chipped away. Wire wrap is complete and intact. Scabbard overall is very good, retaining most of its original black finish. 8-76237 JS7 (12,000-15,000)
