Confederate Heavy Cavalry Sabre and Scabbard,<p>not marked, but typical of swords identifed as Boyle and Gamble, this from an unknown maker. Hilt of crudely cast brass, with three branched knucklebow, flattened leather grip with single strand brass wire wrap. The blade with a stopped 3/4 lenght fuller. Total length of sword 40.5." With its iron scabbard, with brass and iron mounts; a lap-over seam -- typical of many Confederate swords -- is visible along much of the scabbard length. The surface with original brown finish. A fine example.<p>Very Good, with no rust or pitting on the blade, leather wrap sound.
