Here is a great looking sword for the price! It is the 1870's or 1880's officer's style saber. It is officially listed as a British pattern 1822 officer's saber. There were several of these swords utilized by both sides of the Civil War but with the slightly narrower blade and scabbard construction., this one won't be early enough for Civil War production. This one has a great looking full-length blade. The iron guard is in fine shape without any bends or dents. These handles were designed in a style similar to the Dragoon style sabers. On the handle of the sword it has the original sharkskin grip intact with a pleasing look. Wound around the grip it has some of the spring style copper wire intact with the single strand flaking wires remaining. The sword is accompanied by the original metal scabbard. The scabbard has the single mount, and ring intact as well as the throat and drag. This is a great looking cavalry officer's saber for the price.
