This is a nice service used Union cavalry trooper's curved M 1860 saber made by Emerson & Silver of Trenton, New Jersey. It is in very nice honest matured condition. The markings are somewhat clear and the brass hilt is in good shape with a nice honest patina with a tight guard. The leather grip binding and the wire wrap are both present and still mostly solid. The saber comes complete with its original all steel scabbard,
