Confederate Cavalry Officer's Saber

Confederate Cavalry Officer's Saber

Please note: This is just an ornamental item, not intended for real use!

Features a flexible, ornate blade and leather grip wrapped with brass wire. It is just like the old one carried by General Jo Shelby, the Missouri cavalry raider who never surrendered his command. This fine sword has "C.S.A." crisply acid etched on the hand forged blade. "C.S." is cast into the guard with excellent detail. Consult Albaugh: Confederate Edged Weapons, pg. 122.

The scabbard is blued steel, with brass throats, mounts, rings and drag. Beautifully finished.
