'Marshall'-style Confederate cavalry saber identified to Pvt. James W. Pogue of the 1st Virginia Cavalry Regiment. The sword measures 40.5˝ long overall, with a 34˝ slightly curved, single-edged blade. The leather-wrapped grip retains its twisted brass wire, and the saber lacks maker's marks. Complete with its black-painted scabbard with brass hardware, bearing an affixed handwritten note: "Sword of Granpa James W. Pogue, fogt with it in the great War was in the 1st Verginia Cavelary." The sword and its scabbard both exhibit substantial wear and age-appropriate patina.
