Model 1860
Cavalry Saber - Near mint 1864 dated Ames Model 1860 Cavalry
Saber. This beauty has a bright clean blade with clear marks.
Ames MFG. The grip has the original wrap and wire with some minor flaking of
the leather, but very solid overall. The scabbard is dent free with a nice aged patina.
This saber is unique in that it is inscribed (etched) with the
owners name on the blade. The name etched on the sword is Harry
Phillips in an old English style with embellishments. Grip is wrapped
with better, officers, grade wire twist. Oral history that accompanied
the sword was that Phillips was at Gettysburg with Custer. Excellent
unusual sword. Missing throat washer, but complete other than that. J.F. Inspectors Mark
on blade and GKC on pommel. -
