AMERICAN SILVER HILTED HORSEMAN SABER. Though not touch marked, we are fairly confident this is an American made sword. The simple thin silver stirrup shaped grip terminates into birdshead pommel and backstap. The ivory grip is bound by twisted silver wire. The 32-1/2″ curved horseman blade is typical of American swords very early in the 19th century or late 18th century. CONDITION: This sword overall is very good. Silver hilt, especially backstrap, exhibits numerous small dents and scratches. Ivory grip is complete and intact though several cracks can be seen under wire. Sword has possible been apart as tang shows hammer marks. Blade is gray with scattered areas of staining and pitting. 4-35845 JS76 (2,000-3,000)
