AMERICAN MILITIA CAVALRY OFFICERS SWORD, 1870’S-80’S

$665.00

Made to the 1872 pattern for US cavalry officers, (Peterson, The American Sword, #86) this example is made without the Eagle and stars and bars shield as normally encountered. These are infrequently encountered, but other examples are known. It is believed that they were made for reunited Southern (Confederate) states which chose to omit the Union decoration. Texas rearmed their militias, including nine cavalry companies, in 1870. This example is unmarked with 32” curved broad fullered blade with H in shield, Horstman maker’s mark to the ricasso. Brass hilt with wire wrapped leather covered grip. The hilt is excellent for the period. The blade is crisp with gray finish and remnants of original preservative. Brass mounted plated scabbard, shallow dented near the tip. The surface with mixed plate and smooth brown oxidation.
