Cavalry sabers

[Disco Stu]

Is anyone out there making good repros of Civil War era cavalry sabers? Users? Someone tell me quick, I'm tempted to put an edge on my original. Well, not really but I'd still like to have one with an edge.

OK, how about Ames' 1862 Light Cavalry Saber? Low price, is it worth the money?

Thanks guys. I'm gonna look around more but I'll probably end up buying one of the Ames repros.
