This saber model is directly inspired by the French light cavalry saber, Model 1822. This saber model was the most widely used in the American cavalry during the Civil War from 1861 to 1865, even more so than the Model 1860 saber. Produced in 1858, this example was therefore used during this conflict.
Size with scabbard: 108 blade, 87 cm
