34.5" unstopped fuller blade. Classic Confederate saber most likely made at Louis Froelich's "Confederate States Armory" in Kenansville, North Carolina. Froelich scabbards are unique and feature red lacquered lap seamed body, flat brass ring mounts, flush lead riveted brass throat, and squared "J" shaped iron drag. Froelich blades have distinct rounded top edges. This saber is a beautiful "as found" survivor. It would be difficult to find a better condition Confederate cavalry saber by any maker. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Heritage Auction description from June 2007, incorrectly describing it as product of Boyle & Gamble cavalry saber from Don Tharpe & Liberty Heritage Society Museum. CONDITION: fine overall with complete 100% leather grip & twisted brass wire wrap, the unstopped fuller blade is superior retaining much of its original factory polish, excellent point, lightly stained, retains original protective leather washer. Scabbard is in matching fine condition, much of its dark red lacquer surface is retained, no dents. PROVENANCE: Lifelong collection of Richard A. Baumann. (02-23360/JS). NON-GUN. $6,000-9,000.
