Columbia, B Douglas South Carolina Confederate Cavalry Saber
WOW! This is the most attractive one of this pattern Confederate cavalry sabers I've encountered. This is the pattern of cavalry saber for an enlisted rebel that was manufactured in Columbia, South Carolina. There is at least one marked example that is know which is how we know where it was made and by whom. This one is completely unmarked. It has the full-length 33-1/4th inch blade with a gorgeous untouched look. It has the single fuller gong down each side. The are three shallow nicks along the edge, just enough to know it saw service. Where the blade meets the brass of the handguard. The hand guard of the sword itself has the classic 3 branches for an enlisted cavalry trooper. The large brass pommel cap is intact and tight. The handle of the sword has the wooden core intact as well as the russet leather. The double twist brass wire is still intact with a fantastic look. You can tell that these swords were produced by need and not for style. It is fierce and functional Confederate weapon. The sword is accompanied by the original leather scabbard in fair condition, it has been repaired. This is an exception very rare piece of War Time Confederate manufacture from the Palmetto State.
WHEN YOU BUY THE BEST YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO MAKE EXCUSES LATER.
