What a great Relic! This is the sword that collectors refer to as the Virginia Manufactory sword. These were initially made by the state of Virginia so they wouldn't have to rely on the North or foreign markets for weapons. They were initially produced in the early part of the 1800's. They have a very distinctive iron guard and backstrap. It has the blade that measures 33-1/4th inches in overall length. The end of the blade has been rounded off years ago as you can see in the pictures. The iron hand guard has the beautiful classic lines of the Virginia made cavalry saber. The backstrap is still present and holding the parts together. The grip of the sword is missing in action and as you can see but it still displays quite well. Many of these swords were pressed into Confederate service during the Civil War. It was likely lost by one of the Confederates fighting in the Virginia area. The verbal history that accompanied this one is that it was found years ago in the city of Richmond, Virginia. Only about 10,000 of these Virginia Manufactory swords were produced and this is your chance to own a real for the price of a Yankee officer sword costs these days.
