The experts will be along. I find this site helpful https://www.americanswords.com/m1860-cavalry-saber.html

Do you have any other Pictures? The front and back of the blade just below the hilt may have a date on it along with a makers name. I'd guess a model 1860 light cavalry sabre but I'm no expert. I'm basing that on what appears to be a hump in the grip.

Welcome. Looks like a model 1860 as mentioned above but need more photos of any markins, the blade at hilt, pommel cap etc to know for sure

 

[Florida Lee]

Can you take it out of the scabbard and post a photo of both sides of the blade at the hilt where it goes into the guard. Thanks

Defiantly a Civil War yankee model 1860 cavalry sword. It appears the makers mark has been worn off. Look on the top of the sword at the pommel cap and see if you see any letters. This will help ID the maker. You might try some baby powder on the marking to see if brings it out or a piece of paper with a pencil and make a rubbing. Sometimes that will bring it out.
