1860 Light Cavalry Saber Sword History:

1860 Light Cavalry Saber Sword is a long sword used by the US cavalry in the American Civil War. The united cavalry was the designation of the mounted force of the United States Army. Light Cavalry sword was used until the battle ends and is still used during the Spanish American War. There were no light or heavy cavalry in the US army before the civil war. From 1830, there were Dragoons instead of cavalry. But in 1861, these regiments rename as cavalry and were given yellow piping. When the first 800 swords were issued, these were also known as M1862.

When the Civil War ends, cavalry becomes less common, and it takes on the role of skirmishers. Later many Saber swords were replaced with revolvers.
