Here is a cool piece! It is an original Confederate cavalry saber. This is the classic style that is attributed as being made by the firm of Kraft, Goldschmidt & Kraft of Columbia, South Carolina. They are often referred to as being a "Marshall" cavalry. Early on they believed that they were made by Marshall of Georgia. This pattern of sword is illustrated on page 107 of Shannon's Pritchard's book on Collecting the Confederacy. They are very distinctive even though they are completely unmarked. This one has the long 30-3/4th inch blade that is almost completely straight with a slight curve to the lower half. This one has a great salt and pepper look like it spent 100 years in a cabin. It has the single hand forged fuller on each side of the blade. The handle on the sword has a very pleasing look. It has the classic smooth front side of the guard with the flowing hand guard branches. The handle of the sword still retains it original wooden core after all of the years as well as some of the leather and the double strand brass wire. The original pommel cap is present on the handle and it has a rich patina. You can see the casting bubbles in the brass where it was made in a sand mold. This is a great relic Confederate cavalry saber that displays beautifully.
