Finally got the perfect bayonet to go with it, a 1906 SA with Type II scabbard.

Looking forward to it!   -Pat

Pulled from the forum basement...   VF-194 USS BOXER 1953, Korean War

There are no inspector marks other than the JH on blade. The 64 blade date Roby I have also has no inspector marks on guard or drag. The main thing that interests me on this saber is the grip seam being forward. I'll admit I'm not a Civil War blade guy, but this has all the details I want to see on an original, other than the curious exposed seam.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any relevant names in the 2nd Cav Group's rosters:   https://history.2dcavalryassociation.com/category/ww-ii-rosters/  

no evidence of a CIB, his Korean War draft card on ancestry noted his prior service in wwii was Cav. 

Hello, does it have matching inspectors' initials on the pommel cap as well as the drag of the scabbard. I have found Ames to be well marked with inspectors' initials on all of the main parts. The proportions are pretty good however the Ames mark and a few details seem off to me? Does anyone know if "House of Swords" made copies of the Ames M1860 Cavalry Saber?

Maybe something in 361st Fighter Group as most insignia had lightning bolts?

He could of been in the 475th Infantry of the MARS Task Force, is there evidence of a CIB there? Also interesting the wear of the old Pistol Marksmanship badge from the 20s,
