Item Description
Original item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice original Eagle Headed U.S. Officer's sword from the early 1800s. This exact pattern is of the 1821 regulation. The sword is all brass mounted with an interesting "D" hand guard and a very nice "closed mouth" Eagle head pommel. The grip is carved / checked bone, and while it does show age, we do not see any cracks or chips on it at all. The eagle's head is very well executed, with a lovely antiqued brass patina. It is however now loose on the blade, as is the crossguard.
The sword is 35 inches long overall, with a straight 30½ inch single edged blade, with a broad fuller. It has a dark steel finish, and does not appear to have ever had etching. No maker marks can be found on the blade.
The sword is matched with its lovely 31¾ inch long brass scabbard. The scabbard now displays a lovely aged brass patina, but has some heavy denting as shown from years of mishandling. It still fits the sword well and retains its two hanger rings.
A lovely sword from an early part of American History! Comes more than ready for further research and display.
