Description
A stately example of an American silver hilted saber with a small detailed silver eagle head pommel. The sword features a curved clip point blade with a wide shallow center fuller. The spiraling ebony grip is wrapped with fine inlaid twisted silver wire. The eagle head pommel is quite detailed, featuring individual rounded feathers, a closed beak, and target shaped eye. Each feather is pleasantly elaborate featuring vanes detailed with rachis and barbs. A doorknob capstan rests atop of the eagle's head. Silver reverse-P knucklebow. CONDITION: The blade has a dark grey patina with scattered nicks to cutting edge. Hilt retains a pleasing polished surface with several areas of dark patina, especially in protected areas. Grip a couple hairline age cracks. Guard slightly loose to blade. A very attractive silver hit. This sword is featured on page 330 of "American Silver-Hilted, Revolutionary and Early Federal Swords Volume I" by Dan Hartzler. Blade Length: 30" Overall Length: 35 - 1/2"
