Civil War U. S. Cavalry Sword 1820's Bavarian Cavalry British pre-1821

Cavalry Sword - Non Regulation - Very Unusual Style. I have received a great deal of input regarding this unusual sword and the opinions have varied greatly. It very much resembles a Horstmann of New York Cavalry Sword, a pre 1820 British Cavalry Sabre and an 1826 Bavarian Cavalry Sword. This sword was most likely used in the American Civil War and is considered a Non-Regulation pattern, and. Is a rare style seldom encountered. It is a smooth birds head shape pommel with an integral back strap. The grip appears to be sharkskin and is missing the wire.

The knuckle bow has no slot for a saber knot. There are two cavalry style branches also undecorated. There are two shield shape langets and a flat disk quillon. It has been marked on the back of the guard P. "; and I assume that is meant to be "Pea Ridge which was the sight of a major battle in Arkansas in March of 1862.

The guard appears to have a period repair that shows clearly in the photos. Declared Value is the item total & can't be changed. Get Images that Make Supersized Seem Small.
