Sabre ?

I'm very glad to announce that this has finally come to live with me now.

I gave it a heavy coat of Break Free LP, and that's all; not even going to try to remove any 'patina' (rust) .

YAY!!!
Rick, that is ALMOST as good as having it come live with me!!!
Its great knowing where one of these lives, and I know you'll take the proper care of it.
Its all about having these historic weapons in the right hands.

I was surprised when the owner handed it over the bar to me.

Excellent score, Rick! I'm assuming you didn't pay retail?!

This is like the old tale where the little old lady said she had an old '53 chevy in the garage she wanted to get rid of........it was a mint '53 Corvette!!!!

About a two year supply of junior bacon cheeseburgers Mark.

He's a friend, so I had to step up to the plate for this one.
Still, it wasn't retail.

These sabres have such a terrific history; War of 1812, Mexican War and finally the Civil War iirc.
