       This
is a beautiful Confederate manufactured Cavalry saber made in the
Kennansville Arsenal in North Carolina. This sword has the
original grip and single strand wire and the most beautiful red
copper brass basket and pommel that have aged nicely. Note the
Roman numerals XXIII. This exact number would have been on the
matching scabbard. The blade was broken about 12'' back from
the tip but has been expertly fixed and I mean ''expertly''. I
have seen the sword before and after and you can't hardly tell where
the seem is. This sword is tight and strong as new and all
original but for the tip. A fine sword such as this would
easily sell for $3,500. Here is your chance at a great
Confederate sword with great integrity. $2,195.

     This
is a nice 1840 Heavy (wrist breaker) Cavalry saber. This sword
has a beautiful bright blade marked ''C & J'' , and the
brass guard has a lovely mellow patina. The sword handle has
been rewrapped but the wire is original to the sword. The
scabbard is nice and has some pitting toward the drag. This is
an over all great sword, and the most heavily used sword of The
Civil War. $585.
