Butterfield Clavary sword.
“T.C. Butterfield - 102” inscribed on sword and scabbard. Sword measures 40”; metal/stainless scabbard measures almost 36”. Scabbard has 2 rings. Sword appears to have leather wound grip. Cage or guard covers hand when holding. Tip is sharp, blade is not. Seems to have not been restored or polished as some Patina is showing.
Ww2 vet grandfather collected old weapons. This was part of his collection.

Dear Eric,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a US Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber from the first half of the 20th century belonging to a soldier with the name Butterfield.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 150 to 300 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
