bl42/ Scares Maker "J.B.A." contract 1860 Light
Saber
SPECIAL
***$OLD***
From what I don't no about this
sword is (I've been told by the best) that this is a scarce
contract maker and will bring a premium. The scabbard is dark
with age and has small pitting with both rings in great
condition. The blade is "MINT" with clear markings and has no
pitting or any major nicks. The brass guard has a pleasing
mellow color and appears to have it's original wrapping and wire
on the hand grip. You do a little research and enjoy your new
scarce M/M sword and scabbard.
UPDATED INFO
Thanks Mr. Phil Ley of Ohio Volunteer Relics for the Info !!
I'm quoting
directly from the new Thillmann Cavalry and Artillery Sabers
book. "Nothing is known of the company that may have made this
saber. However based on the style and manufacturing techniques,
knowledgeable collectors agree that the saber is American made.
To our knowledge only two of these sabers have been located for
careful study during the last few years".
ONLY TWO !! WOW!! {only two...wow...was my quote. Ha!!}
"Knowledgeable collectors agree that the saber may have been
made by Ames or Emerson and Silver based on blade dimensions,
hilt style/profile! |
