David LaSlavic at 602-717-3103 or ClickCLICK THE SWORD PHOTO TO SEE MORE IMAGES U250. P.S. JUSTICE CAVALRY OFFICERS' SABER: This is a P.S. Justice Cavalry Officers' saber. It is a rare saber and not often found; however, when found they often show evidence of being carried during the Civil War. The saber displays great original patina on the hilt and scabbard. The hilt and grip are tight with no movement. The original sharkskin grip is about 90% complete with 100% original wire. The original leather blade washer is present, and the blade is in nice shape showing the expected wear. The scabbard retains all the original brass mounts and throat piece, and the drag displays the expected wear and dings. It has a lot of character! At the Nashville show, I saw a near-mint example priced at $6000.00. If you are looking for a honest Cavalry Officers' saber, which was used during the Civil War, this is it! $1575.00
U315. RARE - W.G. MINTZER, M1850 MOUNTED FOOT OFFICERS' SWORD: This is a M1850 Foot Officers' sword from W.G.Mintzer, Philadelphia, PA. During the Civil War Mintzer sold M1850 Foot Officers' swords with blade that were both purchased locally from other makers. This saber has no marking on the spine of the blade and is most likely "US" made. The hilt is tight with 100% shark-skin and double-strand wire, and great original patina. The blade retains the original red felt washer, is nick free, with much original frosting and a few dark spots, but no rust or pitting. The blade is etched "US" and an eagle, and dealer marked "MINTZER PHILDA," which is rare to find. Also rare, is to find it in a metal scabbard used for mounted foot officers. The scabbard has a dark attic patina and retains the original mounts. It is missing a screw in each mount, but the mounts are tight with no movement. $1775.00
