The weapon is a Model 1860 Light Cavalry saber. Considered a lighter, more maneuverable weapon than its predecessor the Model 1840 “Wristbreaker”.

The blade measures 35” long with a 27” long fuller. The blade is bright and clean. There are no nicks on the edge. The maker’s mark on the ricasso is to Mansfield & Lamb of Forestdale, Rhode Island. The opposite side is marked “U.S. / C.E.W. / 1864”. Stampings are clear with only light wear.

The grip remains in very good condition. Original wire wrap is unbroken and tight. The leather wrap is complete with only light surface wear. The brass, three-branch knuckle guard is complete. The brass pieces have a smooth mellow patina. The pommel cap and all components remain tightly assembled. Pommel is also stamped with inspector’s initials, “C.E.W.” Leather washer remains in place.

Metal scabbard is complete with drag, two ring mounts, and throat. Surface is a fine light gray and plum mix of color. No dents to speak of; two that are very small if you can even find them.

A very nice sword and scabbard with war date of 1864.  [jet][ph:L]
