RM1547 Civil War Ames Model 1840 Heavy Cavalry Saber Sword with scabbard. This model saber was called the "wrist breaker” as it is a relatively heavy cavalry saber that was manufactured before, and used extensively throughout, the Civil War. This example is dated 1850 on the blade and has the AMES Maker’s stamp on the reverse. The blade is bright and bears the Soldier’s Rack number (44) stamped on both the hilt and on the bottom of the drag of the scabbard. Very good condition.
