32.125" curved single-edged spear-point blade with flat spine, 27" stopped median fuller and a 16.5" secondary fuller near the spine. 38" in overall length with a 6" hilt. Cast brass guard with two-branch guard and knuckle bow and a Phrygian helmet pommel cap. Grooved wooden grip covered in leather with 19 wraps of twisted wire. Obverse ricasso is stamped Columbia, S.C. The sword is otherwise unmarked, as is correct for most examples. The blade has been shortened approximately 4", likely during the period of use and re-tipped. These sabers were delivered by William Glaze & Co of Columbia, SC to the state of South Carolina circa 1852-1853 for the use of the state militia, with only 2,000 being delivered. A scarce secondary Confederate cavalry saber with an attractive, untouched patina. No scabbard is present.
