    !860 U S cavalry saber F S

    <br>1860 Light Cavalry Saber. Nice condition with grip an wire in great shape. Blade marked Roby 1865. The interesting thing is that it's marked B 24 9 on the hand guard. I was told this could very possibly mean 24th man Co B 9th Cavalry. The same person, who I know is an expert on Civil war weapons, also told me that it could very possibly have been issued to the 9th U S cavalry formed just after the war, well know as Buffalo Soldiers. He said the date is right as they would have been issued new equipment upon formation. Of course this is purely speculation. It does have a reproduction scabbard but it fits and looks fine. I'm pricing it far below similar swords I saw on ebay at 375$ plus shipping or pick up at fort.<br><br><br><br><br>
