American Revolution
French "GRENADIER" Engraved Between Two Decorative "Flaming Bombs" Revolutionary War Hanger Sword
c. 1778 Last quarter 18th century, American Revolutionary War Period Use, French Grenadier Hanger Sword, with twice engraved "GRENADIER" and decorations, Very Fine.
This original French Grenadier Hanger Sword features a brass hilt and counter guard with upward-pointing langets. The knuckle bow has slight faceting on the edges, flat pommel cap with raised diamond profile around the peen, with a fine fully intact and tight copper wire-wrapped grip that remains copper in color from prior handling. Its curved single-edge blade has a false edge at tip and both sides display a very large crisp etched "GRENADIER" located between two engraved flaming bombs nearer to the hilt. The blade itself measures about 25-3/8" and the swords overall length is about 30-7/8". The blade surfaces show some old rich deep grey patina with minor light rust and the blade edge has some light nicks from actual use. A nice exemplar weapon that could have seen military use in the American Revolutionary War. Provenance Stated as Ex: The William Guthman Collection (no ID tag).
