Untouched other than wiping the rust off, barn find Confederate light artillery saber found in New York. Examples of Confederate light artillery sabers are considerably rarer than the cavalry sabers. This example displays characteristics of unmarked sabers manufactured by Louis Haiman of Columbus, Georgia. Leather grips are intact with chipping in several places, and still retaining the single-strand iron wire wrap. The scabbard is rusty and uncleaned with the typical crudely soldered lapped seam often found on Confederate enlisted sabers. All the brass parts have a deep, dark, beautiful, untouched patina. The blade displays the typical unstopped fuller and casting flaws often noted on enlisted sabers produced by Haiman. The sharpened edge has a few nicks and dings, probably from fighting off vicious Yankee invaders.
