This is a genuine Union cavalry trooper's curved M-1860 saber. It is in very good condition with expected wear from age and storage. The leather grip binding is relatively tight and still in place wrapped with brass wire. The saber comes with a lovely period patriotic “knot” of red white and blue fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a quality, imported saber specimen of the type issued to Federal horsemen during the American Civil War. The slightly curved saber blade measures 35” long, has a width of 1\", has a 26 ½” long, wide fuller and a narrow fuller 18½\" long.
