This is a nice looking original Civil War era cavalry saber in scabbard. This is the model 1860 pattern that was the most carried style during the Civil War. This one has a full-length blade with a dark gray color to the steel with a nice look. At the base of the front of the blade are the production date of 1865 along with the "US" mark and the inspector initials of "C.E.W." for Charles E. Wilson. On the back of the blade is the maker's mark of the Mansfield & Lamb firm of Forrestdale, Rhode Island. Mansfield & Lamb was one of the premier makers of Civil War cavalry saber and as you can see they made a quality product. The guard and pommel cap have a great color to the brass. The leather grip is original with a fine look. The leather has a pleasing untouched tone and it still retains all of the double strand brass wire as well. The sword is accompanied by an original metal scabbard. Both of the mounts are present as well as the rings and throat. On the side of the scabbard drag, it has the matching and correct "C.E.W." inspector initials. This is a nice solid Civil War era cavalry saber that will make a solid addition to your collection.
