Original Civil War Ames M1860 Cavalry Sword and Scabbard with very desirable 1861 production date. Amazing the stories this sword could tell and the battles it was carried in. The guard and pommel have a beautiful untouched brass patina. I believe it has an old rewrap and wire that was obviously done some time ago and displays great. The blade is full length and has a partial Ames Scroll maker mark on one side and U.S. / Inspector Initials / 1861 date on the reverse. Has a nice point and blade but does have some pitting as shown in the pics. The scabbard is complete with the original throat and both mounting rings. Has a few bumps and dents and an overall salt n pepper patina. Cant see any initial on the drag but appears to be the original scabbard from the amount of wear. Please see all photos for condition and call or write for more information. Shipping is free.
