W.J. McElroy Marked Cavalry Saber and Scabbard

Standard field grade McElroy cavalry sabers are very difficult to find with only a small number known to survive in private hands. The 36 inch long, curved blade has stopped single fullers and is marked "W.J. MCELROY GA" on the spine (usually on the pommel instead). The brass hilt has "R.M.C." (Superintendent Richard M. Cuyler of the Macon Arsenal) on the guard and a wire and leather wrapped grip. The iron scabbard has a dark body and brass hardware.

ConditionGood with dark patina overall including some applied finish/artificial patina on the scabbard, moderate oxidation, some chips at the edge of the blade, and general moderate overall wear, including some dings and dents on the scabbard.
