REVOLUTIONARY WAR AMERICAN MODIFIED “WAGON WHEEL” HORSEMAN’S SABER WITH SCABBARD. This classic American horseman’s saber displays stirrup hilt with a stylized “wagon wheel” guard measuring about 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″. This “wheel” only has four spokes and may show the evolution between the classic American “wagon wheel” and the classic American 4-slot guard. Knuckle bow terminates into ferrule with a baluster pommel with capstan above. Grip is spirally cut bone and the blade is classic American 33″ with three fullers. Accompanying scabbard is quite sound and flexible. Brass tip and throat have similar patinas to the brass hilt. PROVENANCE: Ex. Norm Flayderman Coll. CONDITION: Sword overall is in very good condition. Bone grip is very good overall with scattered staining and few light hairline cracks. Hilt and pommel are overall very good with yellow patina with areas of staining with scattered small nicks and scratches. A pair of initials “TF” are crudely carved on top of the quillon. The accompanying scabbard has been professionally restored. It is very sound and supple being center sewn and retaining much of its original black dye. Top mount is original and not cleaned. Drag is a reproduction. Scabbard fits sword well. 4-41485 JS129 (2,000-3,000)
