Greetings All,
I have for sale one original M1860 Light Cavalry saber. There are no manufacturer's marks stamped on the ricasso. The sword has its original leather washer at the guard present, along with 90% of the original leather grip wrap and the wire binding. Wire is held in place by a small copper tack at the top of the grip on the left side of the guard (see photos). Blade is still tight-- there is no rattle to this piece. Blade exhibits some spotting commiserate with its age. Comes with a reproduction scabbard that is about 1/2 inch too short for the saber, but otherwise fits the blade fine. Asking price is $350 + S&H (should be $20) to the lower 48 States, via USPS Priority mail with deliver confirmation. Additional photos available on request. Contact via PM or email at ALBEMARLE at GMAIL dot COM
Thanks for looking!
Yr Svt,
Will Tatum
