This cavalry saber features a curved steel blade with a wide fuller, a steel stirrup guard, and a ribbed leather-wrapped grip. The steel scabbard shows light surface cleaning and age-related staining. Manufactured by the renowned cutler Peter Knecht in Solingen, Germany, this saber dates to the mid-19th century. Similar swords were exported to various nations, including the United States, for use in conflicts like the Civil War. The blade spine is stamped with the Peter Knecht Solingen maker mark. The leather grip wrap shows moderate wear, with the copper wire binding remaining intact, and the blade fits tightly in its scabbard.
