Edged Weapons
Rare US Cavalry Lance with eyelets for a guidon. 9'11" overall. Blade is 11 1/4" long out of the shaft. The blade is iron while the collar and the grounding iron are brass. No markings that I can find but I had a US Lance that was IDed to Rush's Lancers (6th Pa Cav) and it had the same brass grounding iron. 3 eyelets attached to the shaft for securing a guidon. A section of the original leather wrist strap is still attached. Patina is knee deep on this one folks!!! Not listed in Brown's Polearms book but right as rain and scarce as hens teeth. If you have a US guidon, you need this to display beside it!!!$1495.........Shipping on this will be tough.......Buyer will pay actual shipping but expect it to be $200ish. Will be shipped in a 10' piece of PVC
Loose 1840 Cav Saber Scabbard!!! American made (no throat rivets) with knee deep patina. Rare to find one of these without a saber. Tried a couple of my Dog Rivers and they fit like a glove!!!$325
US mod 1860 Cavalry Saber made by Emerson & Silver, Trenton, N.J. This saber was actually made under contract for the State of New Jersey and is so marked on the ricasso. Much rarer than a standard 1860 Cav Saber!!! The grip is somewhat salty and missing some leather but the wire is still tight. The grip, guard and pommel are still tight and the peen is undisturbed. The full length blade retains most of its original polish and is knick free. An above average blade especially as rare as the NJ marked sabers are!!!$450
Fantastic Confederate Side Knife w/ Scabbard!!! 13 1/4" long by 1 3/4" wide blade. 18" Overall....Double edged, spear point with a median ridge and still damn sharp enough to cut your steak!!! The guard has a slight wiggle bit the grip and ferrules are as tight as when they were made. The scabbard is as impressive as the knife........it is wood, covered with leather. The leather was green when it was made and thats why the leather has shrunk, exposing the wooden core. The leather has two slots for a belt loop and is angled to be worn on the left side so that the grip is slightly angled forward. If you'll notice in the last pic, there is writing on the scabbard. The initials "R S W" jump out at you and under that I can make out Richard S ??????????.........Can't make out the last name. I believe with a little effort, patience and a lot of squinting, the last name can be made out. From the Robert Vines Collection$4295
