I can't seem to find any info on this sword. It is labeled "Academia Militaizada Mexico, Tacubaya, D.E." I know this academy was only in existance for a short time and a battle was fought there during the Mexican American War.
The sword is in fair condition. The handle has a slight twisting movement and the white handle has a gap between it and the brass. The blade has some tarnish and light surface rust, but no pitting. The edge has never been sharpened. The button on the guard is not moving. It is 23" long.
The scabbard is in good condition but the brass parts are dented and dinged. The leather is in good condition.

Please read this important note about Insurance
eBay will no longer allow sellers to make insurance optional. In the past, I always made insurance an option. Unfortunately, the choice eBay gives sellers now is to either insure at the sellers expense, or include the cost in the handling charge. This forces sellers to either take a loss, or to charge everyone insurance. I have chosen the latter and will now add $1.60 for insurance to the handling charge. Although this only covers values up to $50.00, I will cover the extra amount for items over $50.00. Insurance will be purchased through USPS, Auctiva or through Shipsurance, a private insurer. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE OVERSEAS 1ST CLASS MAIL. THIS TYPE IF SHIPPING IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF SHIPPING.
