Up for offer is an original 19th Century United States militia cavalry sword. The sword is probably a state contract militia sword dating to the 1810-1820 era or so. The sword measures 37.75 inches in total length while in the scabbard. The curved blade alone measures 31.75 inches measuring along a straight line. The guard and scabbard are made of iron.The sword is in solid period used condition with some oxidation and pitting in areas. The blade is decent with some nicks, dings, and areas of dark oxidation and slight pitting. The blade has been polished at some point. The wooden handle has some wear with a few small chips & tight age cracks with a nice old patina. There is some slight play between guard and blade but nothing major. The leather and wire wrap on the handle are missing (if it ever had any). The scabbard retains remnants of the period black paint and has a few small dents and some oxidation and pitting mainly towards drag. Neat old sword and guaranteed 100% authentic in every regard.
