US Civil War Saber

The Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber was the standard issue sword for Union cavalry troops during the Civil War. This specific example was manufactured by the famous Ames Manufacturing Company and is dated 1864. The curved blade, designed for slashing from the saddle, is in good condition with clear manufacturer markings. It retains its original steel scabbard, which has acquired a dark patina over 160 years. A tangible piece of American heritage, perfect for anyone interested in the War Between the States.
