Discription:
M1840 Cavalry Saber w/ Scabbard in overall good
condition by Kirschbaum. The grip & wire is all original
and in good condition. You can see the brass has a nice dark,
modeled patina throughout. The blade is in relatively great shape
and has a pleasing gun metal gray look throughout. On the ricasso
you can see a nice mark ' C.K ' , the reverse is blank as it should be. The
leather washer is missing.
The scabbard is complete with throat, hangers and drag. You'll notice towards the
bottom there are two dents, whether intentional or not is left up to you. Nonetheless, one of them had overstressed the metal and caused a small tear where the metal had crimped. Some will say it was done purposely, others indicate possible battle scar, that's up to you. There is no active rust or other damage noted to the scabbard. The scabbard fits the sword like a glove.
