Description:Nice condition cavalry saber with desirable Ames stamping and original grip wrap. Dated 1865 -- records indicate a large number of these were issued for the Grand Review at the War's end because troopers wanted them to look sharp, but hadn't all dragged them around during the war. This one has too dents to the scabard designed to keep the blade from rattling inside so was probably carried later, perhaps in the India Wars.
