CONFEDERATE HAIMAN CAVALRY SABER WITH SCABBARD,
<B>CONFEDERATE HAIMAN CAVALRY SABER WITH SCABBARD, by L. Haiman & Brother, Columbus, Georgia</B></I> Louis Haiman and his brother Elijah operated in Columbus, Georgia throughout the entire Civil War. They produced varied items that they supplied to the Confederacy, including buttons, belts, camp equipment, revolvers, and all types of edged weapons. Their expertise in supplying a variety of edged weapons is quite extensive. Uniquely, the blade on this sword is stamped at the ricasso on the right side, “CSA.” The sword retains its original leather and single iron wire wrap on the hilt. The mounts on the scabbard retain most of the original gilt as does the scabbard retain its original brown lacquered finish. The scabbard is lap-seamed on the bottom. The overall condition of this sword is excellent.<BR><BR> <B>Provenance:</B></I> <I>The Tharpe Collection of American Military History</B></I><BR> <BR><B>Exhibited:</B></I> <I>The Liberty Heritage Society Museum</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Bats, Clubs, Sticks, Swords, Rif (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
