Windlass 1860 Union Cavalry Officer's Saber
I am very impressed with the Windlass 1860 Union Cavalry Officer's Saber.  The polish on the blade and guard is superb.  The blade is a little thicker than the advertised 3/16 inch, which is good in my  opinion.  My sword measured .230 inch thick at the spine a few inches in front of the guard; if it were 3/16 that dimension would be only .1875 inch.  I am happy for the extra balance and rigidity that the thicker steel provides.  Altogether, this is a very fine and handsome sword.  Shipping was prompt, and my sword arrived well packed and in perfect shape.

I own this saber and it is a fantastic weapon. I have examined many originals and I can say this recreation is true to those in almost every respect. The only real difference is the grips are leather rather than ray/shark skin, although some originals have leather grips. Balance is spot on as is weight. This is a fully functional weapon and is great for reenactors or actual use. The blade is both a terrific lasjing blade but also excellent in the thrust. This is a beautiful and versatile weapon. Sharpening service from Atlanta Cutlery/MRL is top notch, the only issue being that they do not sharpen the false edge as on the originals which increase thrusting ability and allows for hook cuts with the reverse. If you like sabers this one is a steal at this price.
