American Revolutionary War Era British Short Saber with Gilt Lion Head Pommel

British Lion-Headed Pommel Short Saber, Choice Very Fine.
c. 1770, British-made, 32" long saber with curved blade and gilt lion head pommel, hilt and knuckle guard--all retaining most of their gold coloring! The spiraled dark wood grip retains its dark walnut finish, with only a slight chip at the edge near the pommel. A copper wrap twists around the grip in the wood's recessed grooves. The 1.5" wide, double fuller blade tapers to a point, and is 26" in length, with slight pitting from use, and a nice dark aged patina. A nice Revolutionary War period saber.
