1833 Dragoon Sabre What a nice sabre! Its real close to the originals. This sabre is a quality piece. It goes well with my Uberti 1848 Colt Whitneyville/Hartford Dragoon Percussion revolver display that includes an 1847 Colt Walker. It is just what I have been looking for.
Devil in the details Off the bat, the M1833 is a curved saber, not a sraight sword. Shocked Windlass would blow such a fundamental detail as that. The Ames makers mark is prominent on the original and not here. Thirdly, the original has a better taper to the blade and is not as nose heavy. This thing survives as a fair display and reenacment piece if you can’t spring the 1K for an original. ;)
