OF THE DOG RIVER STYLE. Overall length: 43 3/4". Blade length: 35 3/4". This classic Confederate saber falls into the Dog River category. The plain blade has a single wide unstopped fuller and shows two significant forging flaws near the hilt. The coppery brass semi-basket hilt has two branches that join the knuckle bow and enter the pommel about 3/4" below the top. The grip wood is virtually completely intact but shows drying cracks. Only traces of the leather wrap remain but the heavy iron wire wrap is completely intact. Iron scabbard with a bottom lap seam has an iron drag. The scabbard has brass suspension bands with iron suspension rings and an iron throat with no rivets on the side. CONDITION: the blade has a dark overall patina with minimal evidence of light pitting. The hilt has great deep rich mellow patina and is free from defects. The grip is complete and solid but lacks nearly all of the leather wrap. The scabbard is very solid with no notable dents. The iron has a pleasing dark patina and the brass bands have a similar deep rich patina. (02-24417/BF). $2,500-3,500.
