Description: This exceptional Ron Best Cavalry Saber has been in a private collection. It has been meticulously cared for and is in new condition. The pre-ban elephant ivory is exceptional with very slight checking lines.
Ron Best's craftsmanship and skill shine through on this dress cavalry saber. The blade is polished D2, a high chromium carbon steel used extensively in the tool and die industry. The high chromium content gives the steel additional resistance to corrosion, while the high carbon content allows it to maintain an excellent edge. The apple seed grind is designed for high performance cutting.
The full tang have been fileworked for a dramatic effect. Decorative work on the ricasso includes an inlaid mosaic pin. Front and rear bolsters are meticulously engraved in floral scroll by Jere Davidson. The handle is completed with a central mosaic pin. Excellent fit and finish throughout.
