CONFEDERATE CAVALRY SABER, STATE OF GEORGIA.

CONFEDERATE CAVALRY SABER, STATE OF GEORGIA. This is a fine example of the Isaac Campbell imported model 1853 cavalry with large “G”s for Georgia stamped on blade and scabbard. 34-1/2” blade on this sword is near mint, retaining original polish and finishing lines. Iron hilt retains original finish and polish under black and brown staining and patina. Original washer is retained, though worn and flattened by scabbard. Scabbard is cleaned, has scattered pitting. The “G” stamp above top mount and throat is very well defined as is the “G” on the blade. Checkered leather grips are worn and chipped, though fully intact. This is a sword rarely found in such high condition. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to upgrade this specimen. Several swords of this pattern have been identified to Georgia Cavalry Units, including the 5th Georgia Cavalry. CONDITION: As stated above. 8-76239 JS5 (7,500-9,500)
