This mid-war production weapon is a M-1860 Light Cavalry saber. Considered a lighter, more maneuverable weapon than its predecessor the M-1840 “Wristbreaker,” the light cavalry saber weighed about 3 ½ pounds in the scabbard.

The blade length measures 35”, width is just over an inch wide with a wide fuller 27” long and the narrow fuller 18” long. The date “1863” has been shallowly re-stamped in an offset fashion on one side of the ricasso under a “US” stamp.  The opposite side features a single “J”.

Brass hilt exhibits a muted patina overall, is tight to the handle, and still has its original leather washer. The grooved, center-swell grip features leather wrap in good original condition with only minor wear. Brass wire wrap is original and complete, but loose.

Steel scabbard is in good condition with several noticeable dents on either side at middle and point areas. Scabbard has acquired a handsome dark patina.  Inspector initials on the drag read “A.G.M.”

Overall, a good example of a near-ubiquitous arm of the Federal Cavalry.  [cm][ph:L]
