Gents-

This Confederate Cavalry Saber by Robert Mole came up for sale. Just thought I would pass it along for those with an interest.

Re: A Little Something For You Cavalry Boys

Thanks for this, Louis.

Beautiful example of this very frequently used saber of the CS. This one has an unbelievably pristine blade. I own an original of the P53 and it is not in quite the same level of condition. Really nice. At $5500 they are certainly asking a lofty price but it is whatever the market will bear, I suppose.

Thanks again,
Mark
