CIVIL WAR 1840 WRIST BREAKER TIFFANY CAVALRY SWORD

41 1/2" with a 35 1/2" blade that is 1 1/4" wide at ricasso. Marked PDL on left ricasso, and Tiffany co. New York on the right side. Enlisted sabers manufactured by maker P.D.L. (P. D. Luneschoss) of Prussia (Germany) were imported by retailers / assemblers such as New York’s Tiffany and Company who sold them to the U.S. Ordnance Department. The blade is still very clean. Hilt is iron. The grip shows minor wear and the scabbard is solid. A nice example of this sword. Very Good
