Confederate Georgia P1853 Cavalry Saber as imported and marked by the state of Georgia. The spine of the blade is marked 'Isaac & Co', the company front for Confederate purchasing agents. The reverse of the blade is stamped with a 'G' just below the end of the fuller, denoting ownership by the state of Georgia. Iron hilt with gutta percha grips. Scabbard is the correct type but is not marked with the 'G' stamp as the original would have.

34 3/4 inch blade is mostly smooth with a dark patina and some areas of pin-prick pitting. The 'G' stamp is crisp as is the Isacc & Co. marking. Iron hilt retains original form and the original leather blade washer is present. Grips are sound and show a great deal of wear with some checkering still visible. The accompanying scabbard has markings 'L' over '16' deeply struck between upper ring mount and throat. On the opposite side of scabbard a crown over '14' is visible.
