Description:
CIVIL WAR Antique AMES M1860 Light Cavalry Saber
Desirable Ames Manufacture Dated 1865
Here we present an antique Civil War Ames 1860 Light Cavalry Saber, manufactured circa 1865 in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The 1860 was a lighter and nimbler successor to the 1840 Heavy Cavalry Saber. The M1860 went on to be used by cavalry during the Indian Wars and even in the Spanish-American War. The Ames Mfg. Company alone produced 200,000 of these swords, with other contractors fulfilling several tens of thousands each.
The ricasso is marked “US/J.F./1865” on one side and the other is marked “MADE BY/AMES MFG. CO/CHICOPEE”. “JF” are the initials of the government inspector. They also appear on the pommel. The handle is marked “B16L”. The scabbard rings bear fragment of the hanger.
The overall condition is very good. The 34-3/4inch blade is in good shape. The grip is tightly wrapped in leather and braided wire. Markings are legible. This is a very nice and sturdy example of the premier Cavalry Saber of the Civil War!
