Saber find

[Glen_C]

Its is a model 1840 cavalry sword and it does have a cavalryman's bend on the guard. Without markings there is really no way to tell who made it and where it came from. Its hard to tell from the photos but it does appear to have had the handle removed from the blade but with the camera flash's it hard to tell. Hope you aren't to deep in it.

With respect sir, I don't know what you are referring to, as I said the pommel cap was NOT flattened!

I am more agreeing with you and disagreeing with "but it does appear to have had the handle removed from the blade". As the assumption was also mentioned made in the other thread, maybe I was just drinking too much coffee,

Thank you! Yes, I did address the flattening of the pommel cap on another thread. After awhile the similar topics can easily begin to blend together!
