text: 1866 marked the beginning of the formation of the 9th Cavalry Regiment, and although I do not know if the regiment began to mark their sabers in this fashion at that date, it is fact that the 1860 sabers were issued, being the standard for all US cavalry regiments until 1906 (it is likely that the 9th and 10th Cavalry were probably the last to receive the new sabers and may have retained the old pattern 1860’s for a few years beyond 1906).
