This is a tough on to find. 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 inch blade with a dark 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. 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 pleasing 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 iron and brass scabbard. It has the very distinctive Douglas style drag made of thick brass. The mounts are made of brass and they have both of the rings intact. As you can see, the scabbard body has a modern made replacement throat with the rest being original. This is an exception piece of War Time Confederate manufacture from the Palmetto State.
