REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA OFFICER’S SWORD WITH POSSIBLE NAVAL ASSOCIATION.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA OFFICER’S SWORD WITH POSSIBLE NAVAL ASSOCIATION. You are bidding on a late 18th century American urn pommeled/slotted guard officer’s hanger with 29-1/2″ blade. Grip is an interesting 4-sided spiral cut grip. Without a close look you would have felt this sword would have been typical for an Army officer, however there is a 1″ tall fluted anchor either cast or engraved into side of pommel that must have Naval connotation. This is an interesting sword that appears original and is in fine condition. SIZE: 29-1/2″ blade; 35″ overall. PROVENANCE: Charles Radcliffe Collection. CONDITION: Blade is gray/bright showing areas of old cleaning and pitting. There is an odd stamp on spine of blade consisting of two initials (see photos on web). Brass hilt and pommel show good patina. Carved wood grip overall is very good with black staining. Tang protruding through cap stand appears to have been repeened. 4-39659 JS52 (2,000-3,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2010
