ARTIFACT:
This is a Civil War era German import Model 1840 United States Army Cavalry saber by Rohrig & Co., with proper markings on the back of the blade. The brass guard is slightly misshapen, and there are some nicks in the blade. Most of the leather remains on the wrapped handle with about 25% of the wire wrap remaining. This is a good example for any collection of a sword that most likely saw use in the Civil War.
