Description

Similar in design to the British 1821 Pattern Cavalry Trooper’s Saber, this quality example
was manufactured by Wilhelm Walscheid of Solingen, Germany. It features an iron two-
branch guard with small fixed counterguard, reverse scroll quillon, and knuckle bow
connecting to the dove-head pommel, with integral backstrap. Wood grip with original
shagreen and single-strand brass wire wrap and iron base ferrule. Single-edged 32 3/4″
blade with 3/4-length single fuller, the last 11″ double-edged. Ricasso stamped
“W.WALSCHEID/SOLINGEN” on one side and inlaid brass “PROVED” in a circle on the
other. Red fabric blade washer (worn). Iron scabbard with two carry rings. Wilhelm
Walscheid, 1855 – 1865, had a New York agent, Wagner & Walscheid, which provided
swords to dealers in both the North and South before and during the Civil War. Very good
condition; the blade smooth, with no nicks and some age staining. Hilt very good, the grip
wrap complete. Scabbard with lacquer coating over dark gunmetal patina. Overall length
38″, not including scabbard.
