Not quite eBay, but here's a decently-priced M1906. Dealer is in Canada, so this one may be of great interest to fellow Canucks. Bought a nifty "instructional skeleton" Lee-enfield Mk 4 no. 1 from them before- good honest service. No scabbard, but M1840/M1860 repro scabbards abound (BigMick on eBay, DixieGunworks, etc)

Looks good so far, and can't go wrong with a federal approved by Edelweiss. It'll change your mind about sabres forever

Keeping in mind that there is no such model as an 1803 US militia sword. It does look to date from about the era, I would put it before 1820 but surplus was used for decades. British yeoman militia perhaps. I hope it goes to the folk on the boards. I have some others filling the slot, so not really something I would snipe. The distorted guard can be straightened but don't do that cold, for fear of cracking it. It could be stabilized with super glue, sharpened and used. It will weigh well less than 2 lbs and feel toy like. A good size for backyard bottles, etc.

An unmarked Mexican War period Ames eagle pommel. Unlike the mid 1830s Ames five ball hilt sabre, this has a longer mounted artillery blade. If I was not already over budget, I'd jump. The seller has already come down $200 on a decent sword with its original scabbard. I'll be twitching until the auction ends and pulled it off my GIXEN sniping list. I'll be sitting on my hands, weeping a bit. Disregard his 1821 model note, it aint. This is a not entirely rare sword but of the 1840s. Ames had a demand from the army in the 1830s for both a spadroon and sabre. That was the 1836ish timeline and the early Ames sabres and spadroons all had unstopped fullers. When the various 1840 army swords were adopted, we start to see the screaming eagles with plain P guards and stopped fullers. My late spadroon sill has a five ball hilt (no counterguard) but with a stopped fuller. No blade etch on this listed sabre. www.ebay.com/itm/U-S-MODEL-1821-MOUNTED-ARTILLERY-SWORD-SCABBARD/192456533589?Needs some tlc, the scabbard leather could benefit from some Pecards antique formula, as it is dry rotting. The blade needs some minor scraping. It really would go well with my Ames eagle spadroon of the same period but currently too much out for not enough coming in. Car repair, air conditioning for the home, dental and myriad other things should deny me this year. Ya, schilling a bit I guess but I don't know the seller, just hope to see it go to a good home. The images, of course, will go in the files of my virtual collection. Danged if I do snipe at it but I really should not. Just nice to see a late example of these out there and with its entire (about to fall apart, please save me) scabbard. It has probably been in Texas or the sw territories since it was new, hence the existing scabbard. Arrrgh

I share your pain here Edelweiss, especially since it'll probably go for around that 500 mark...

It has probably been in Texas or the sw territories since it was new, hence the existing scabbard. Arrrgh It's up again... 2 hours left. Yes, and may be listed again. Having just paid off my camera and some medical bills, more toys really should wait . The car needs an easy grand and rebuilding some 40 yr old dental at the top of lists. Retirement has meant budgeting. It's time to sell, not buy. Three swords in since autumn. I could say the heck with it and buy the walloon at Fa gan, or something from Paul Donelly but these last four swords in less than a year, along with knives have more than emptied the poke for now. I am still waiting for one specific Bolton type eagle to appear. A near miss was listed in the past month as well but I didn't want to go "all in" to beat the bidding. Real close to the example I am seeking. I am seeking a Bolton type junior officer sabre with no blue&gilt to go with my decorated officer's spadroon. That will complete a pair of Osborn and Ketland types in both horn and bone or ivory. Blond spadroons and brown horn sabres of three primary types of the early 19th century. If I start selling online, it will be on the forums. I imagine some old ATrim and A&A would go pretty quick. Seems I'm still hording.
