U.S. Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber by Mansfield & Lamb
This cavalry saber has a 34 3/4'' slightly curved blade with wide and narrow fullers and a 40 3/4'' overall length. The remains mostly bright with some light cloudiness, freckling, fine staining and tiny nicks along the main edge, the freckling a little more pronounced along the spine. The reverse ricasso had round ''MANSFIELD / & / LAMB / FORESTDALE, R.I.'' while the obverse ricasso is marked ''U.S. / J.M / 1864'', the markings remain crisp. The hilt has a brass triple branch guard, Phrygian pommel and a black leather covered grip wrapped in braided brass wire and the leather buffer washer remains intact. The brass surfaces have a nice ocher patina with some sparse fine staining and light impact marks, the front face remaining quite bright. The leather covering shows modest flaking with a small chip missing below the knucklebow, the wire wrapping remains tight. The steel scabbard has toned to brown with light gray undertones, scattered fine oxidation and a couple shallow dings. A very good plus Light Cavalry saber. (5A11738-SW17) [John A. Micavich Collection] (800/1200)
