      This
is a beautiful unmarked ''Memphis Novelty Works'' Confederate
Cavalry saber in an original Confederate brass mounted scabbard.
The brass mounts have a lovely aged patina as well as the Memphis
''butter knife'' guard and pommel. At some point during the
war the Cavalry horse went down causing the branch on the guard to
bend inward. This gives the sword great character in my opinion and
is pleasing to the eye. This saber retains the original wrap.
The original wire was fragmented and has been replaced. The
blade has the classic unstopped fuller with a smooth gray patina and
a few small service dings. This sword was purchased from the
Lee Hadaway collection in Virginia. This is a 100% authentic
Memphis Novelty sword and will be accompanied by a letter of
authenticity. $5,895.

     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. $650.

      Great
classic Ames 1860 model light cavalry saber. This sword has
the straight line makers mark of Ames Manufacturing Co.
Chicopee Massachusetts. The swords has a very early and
desirable production date of 1861 with the US stamp and inspectors
initials of J.H.. This sword is completely original with some
of the leather still intact. The scabbard is in wonderful
condition. It is not very easy to find an early date Ames.
