Here are pictures of a friends saber. It was made by Pettibone Bros. of Cincinnati, Ohio. The guard is engraved"1898, Puerto Rico, Cuba" and Lt. George Wright, A Cv. Brigade, Ordinance Officer". What is the military proper designation and period for this saber? Is it Navy or Army? Anything else you can provide would be appreciated. THANKS,,

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It would be for the army. Pettibone Bros. made sabres for the army and Lt. refers to the army. Does it have any metal stamping? Similar era sabres from Pettibone Bros. are going for about 100 bucks if in poor condition. Your pictures are not working. If in good condition it could go for quite a bit more.
