A nice Confederate Cavalry Cavalry saber with original scabbard. The hilt and pommel have a good brown patina.  Interesting to note - off center pein through the pommel . The grip is original black oil cloth showing 40% worn areas. It is wound with single strand iron wire. The blade is full length with a dark gray peppered finish. The blade has an unstopped fuller and of course no secondary fuller. The Iron scabbard has the cruse seam, brass throat, ring mounts and drag blade. There was a crack and now an old repair about 2 inches from the bottom.
