CIVIL WAR MODEL 1840 UN-MARKED WITH SCABBARD CSA STYLE For Sale

Up for sale is a Confederate style re-grip of probably a Solingen made model 1840 cavalry saber with it\'s scabbard . The blade measures 35 1/2\" long x 1 1/4\" wide x 5/16\" thick at the ricasso , and there are absolutely no markings that I can find anywhere on this saber or it\'s scabbard . The grip needed to be restored when I bought this one and I decided to do it the CSA way with oilcloth and single strand iron wire wrap as a \"Johnny Reb \"would do it . This is done as many of the CSA\'s sabers and swords were done due to a lack of leather . Oilcloth was the chosen alternative to leather . Oilcloth is nothing more than painted canvas duct cloth that was widely used by the south during the War of Northern Aggression . The scabbard has two rivets -one in front and one in the rear of the throat area and has the large rings and the Prussian style drag . It has 2-3 dents and the brazed seam is showing in places . This is as close as some of us will come to having an actual CSA saber of any sort . I made this one to be as it would have been done by a CSA armory or a Confederate soldier given the materials at hand . This is an as is sale with no returns - so be sure before you buy . I sell and ship to the lower 48 states only . Shipping will be $25.00 if east of the Miss. River or actual cost if beyond . Thanks for looking and best regards.BC
