Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:520360
Original Description:
VIRGINIA MANUFACTORY SABER ... A nice example of the Third Type of Virginia Manufactory cavalry saber. About 5, 000 of these were made from 1808 to 1814, with a small number thrown in in 1821. These replaced the earlier, longer , awkward horseman’s sabers the armory had produced before 1808 and were so popular that large numbers of the older patterns were altered to this size. This has the typical birdshead profile pommel and gently curved blade, showing the characteristic backstrap... and curved guard with seven slots. The blade has the standard two fullers, one narrow near the back edge and a shallow wider one in the center. It also bears a typical Virginia Manufactory enigmatic blade stamp above the ricasso on the left side. The blade is clean, muted silver in color, with good edge and point. The grip has about one third of its thin leather wrap remaining on the upper portion, but no wire. The iron ferrule at bottom is in place. There is some crustiness and scattered pitting to the iron hilt that seems to have been japanned black during its period of use. These sabers were made by the state for its militia and more than a few ended up in the hands of Virginia’s Confederate mounted troops in the Civil War. A very scarce and desirable Southern cavalry saber.Overall legnth 34 inches blade legnth
