Just to add that the US m1840 and m1860 cavalry sabres were based on this design and a good many unmarked examples were exported to both sides in the American Civil War.

I can see traces of a blade marking on the image with a rack number on the hilt and closer examination of that may confirm or change the attribution.

Thank you for your reply, I wish they were markings but I am afraid that what look like traces of markings are in fact blemishes. I would be grateful if you would explain what " rack number" as I would like to know what these marks signify. Regards Miguel |

Thanks for your reply, it would be nice to be able to confirm that these swords were US M1840 or M1860 Cavalry Sabres, shades of John Wayne leading the charge, but without manufacturers or regimental markings I guess it will prove difficult. Thanks again for your reply and now that I am armed with Yours and Hotspurs info I will be able to carry out further research. Regards Miguel |
