Except for the hand guard it looks exactly like my civilwar calvary sword. I think you may have a keeper. There are fakes out there and I am no expert on swords but from the picture it looks good.

It sure does look like this Model 1840 Cavalry Sabre doesn't it?

Would be pretty cool if it was. I need to get some more information on it. Thanks Duggap

I guess my next question is how do I tell if it is a replica?

looks like an old wristbreaker type model --- 1840 model calvary sword

easy how did you come by it? -- area found--- over all markings --there is many ways to id a fake / replica

Very nice. initial opinion from me is probably an original. From its appearance. But then the repos will fool even an expert.

Unfortunately its not in my possession...yet. A friend found it in his deceased grandfather's attic and sent me a few pictures to see if I knew anything about it.

I am trying to find out if there is any writing or symbols on the blade or wrist guard, I will let you guys know as soon as I find out.
