Lot 297


This pattern of cavalry officers saber was adopted in 1872 and was regulation for thirty years until the 1902 pattern officers sword was adopted for all branches of service. The brass hilt features a pommel cap with floral decoration and a U.S. shield on its face with crossed sabers underneath. The guard is the standard three-branch cavalry guard, decorated with cast laurel leaves, and the interior of the counterguard is cast with an American eagle crouching and perched at the top of the interior clutching arrows and an olive branch, with a row of stars around the lower edge. The outside of the guard has a burst of sun rays radiating outward. The grip is sharkskin wrapped and bound with twisted brass wire. The surface of the gray sharkskin shows some light wear on the raised portions from handling. The B.M Whitlock, New York. is etched on the obverse ricasso.
