Description:
RARE, EARLY Antique AMES 1860 Light CAVALRY SABER
Antebellum Dated “1859”
Here we present an antique US Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber, made by Ames Manufacturing Co. in Chicopee, Massachusetts in 1859. The Model 1860 was designed to replace the Model 1840 Heavy Cavalry Saber, which was indeed heavier. The 1860 was in development prior to the American Civil War as evidenced by this rare example with an “1859” date. The federal government ordered 5,000 that year and, of that number, 1,200 were sent to the state of Virginia, just prior to the outbreak of the American Civil War.
The ricasso is marked “U.S./G.G.S./1859” on one side and “AMES MFG. CO/CHICOPEE/MASS” on the other.
This example is in near fine shape. The leather and wire wrapped handle is very much intact. Blade remains bright as protected by the scabbard. A very nice and quite rare early specimen of an 1860 Cavalry Saber that very well could have been used by Confederates!
