M 1840 Cavalry Officer Saber. This is an attic saber and a unique design. Brass guard has an unusual mushroom style pommel cap and an Eagle cast on the quillion. The side of the guard is a marked with romal numeral scratched into the brass as well as the pommel cap. Blade is lightly etched and has tunrned a gray patina. Obverse etch - stand of arms / foliate / sideways US / foliate. Reverse blade etch - stand of arms / foliate / stand of arms / foliate with EPU ribbon intertwined. I believ the blade was shortened at some time as it fits like a glove but is shorter than the scabbard. Scababrd is all steel and also dark from attic storage. Inly version I have encounted with these elements.
