*SOLD* Ames Mig Co. U.S. Model 1860 Pattern Light Cavalry Saber *ANTIQUE MODEL*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis
Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1860 Pattern Light Cavalry Saber, made by Ames Mig. Co. for the American Civil War. The 1860 was a lighter and nimbler successor to the 1840 Heavy Cavalry Saber. The MI860 went on to be used by cavalry during the Indian Wars and even in the Spanish-American War. The Ames Mfg. Company alone produced 200,000 of these swords, with other contractors fulfilling several tens of thousands each. The overall length is 40-1/2 inches with the blade measuring 34-3/4 inches. It sports a brass hilt, wire-wrapped leather grip, and a scabbard. The right side of the ricasso bears "U.S.," the inspector mark "A.D.K." for Sub-Ordnance Inspector A. D. King, and the year "1863. The left side of the ricasso bears the maker's mark "Ames Mfg. Co/Chicopee/Mass." The pommelis also marked "A.D.K.".
