Hi-- Just bought a sword on ebay-- a Horstman British officer's model 1822 cav saber with quill back and American symbols on blade.I understand this was the Horstman model carried by the FTPCC. In addition, the blade bears the letters "C.T."
Question: might swords of First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry officers bear a "C.T." for "City Troop" instead of the, presumably, more common "FTPCC?"
Any light anyone can shed on this would be much appreciated.
Thank you
