This saber has a 35? long blade and maker marked on the reverse ricasso “C. ROBY/CHELMSFORD [in an arc]/MASS.” The obverse ricasso is marked “U.S./1864/A.G.M. [the military inspector’s initials]” The blade shows light tarnish but no nicks or pitting. The grip retains all of the leather wrap but none of the wire binding. The brass guard is in fine condition. The steel scabbard retains most of an old black painted finish over scattered light to moderate pitting. Accompanied by a statement of authenticity signed by one of Stewart’s descendants identifying this sword by the maker and date as coming down the family from Henry C. Stewart, Co. K, 1st Iowa cavalry.
