Very handsome 1840s straight bladed US non-regulation officer's sword. Knights head pommel. Carved bone grip. "D" pattern knuckle guard. Ultra handsome American Eagle clamshell guard. Engraved brass scabbard with button mount for sword frog. 36 inches overall length in scabbard. Blade length 30.5 inches. Overall VG condition. Blade etching is worn. Patina on the brass is wonderful and undisturbed. Scabbard may have had rings at one time based on the marks along the edge of the scabbard. See pics. These swords were very popular during the 1840s through the 1860s with many being carried in Mexico, and many carried by officers North and South early in the Civil War.

Materials, Packing, and UPS Shipping on this item is $38.00. Insurance is $1.50 per hundred. UPS charges $5 for the signature required service. The insurance and signature service are optional, but there can be no insurance for theft or loss without the UPS “signature required” service.If you decline signature service and/or insurance and the neighbor kid steals the box off your porch after UPS leaves it.... or if UPS delivers it to the wrong address, or if the UPS truck crashes and burns… You are out of luck. I highly recommend the insurance and signature service.

Very Good
