Hello Mr Guy,
Thanks for your reply, it would be nice to be able to confirm that these swords were US M1840 or M1860 Cavalry Sabres, shades of John Wayne leading the charge, but without manufacturers or regimental markings I guess it will prove difficult. Thanks again for your reply and now that I am armed with Yours and Hotspurs info I will be able to carry out further research.
Regards
Miguel
