Dixie RelicsDixie RelicsItem Description Original Item: This is a wonderful example of the principal cavalry saber used in the U.S. Civil War of 1860-1865. It has all brass mounts with wood with leather wrapped sword grip with brass wire wrap. Scabbard is nice and complete. It is a very solid sword and the blade has not been sharpened. The curved blade is marked on one side- Ames MFg co Chcopee and the other side of the fuller has US JCW 1865. This would be a nice cavalry sword to add to your collection.
