Prussian Model 1852 Cavalry Saber with Scabbard
Offered here is an authentic Prussian M1852 Cavalry Saber, a robust and historic weapon carried by mounted troops of the mid-19th century. This example displays a wonderful, heavy patina across the guard, grip, and steel scabbard, lending it a bold antique presence while showcasing its long service life.
The iron three-bar guard remains tight and solid, with no looseness, and the grip retains much of its original wire wrap, though aged with time. Despite the age and field use, the blade itself is in very good condition, showing honest wear yet no major pitting or structural issues. The highlight is its handsome spear-point tip, still crisp and well-defined, making the profile of this saber especially striking.
The matching steel scabbard, also showing a deep, even patina, is free of major dents and fits the blade snugly, with both suspension rings intact.
This is a sturdy and complete 19th-century cavalry saber, ideal for collectors of European militaria or those seeking a centerpiece with undeniable battlefield character.
