Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is an extraordinary example of an American Revolutionary War locally made Horseman’s saber. This saber shows similarities to several different patterns of the period with a hand-fluted wooden grip with small remnants of the original wire wrap that sat in the shallow hand-carved grooves. This is a rather extravagant example for the period. The blade has a triple fuller on each side for roughly 20 1/2” of the 32 3/4” blade. This style of triple fuller was popular on American-made Horseman sabers of this period.
The slightly curved blade is still tight to the hilt and is in great shape with some minor edge nicking. There is somehow still a very small and weak fragment of the original leather blade buffer, WOW! The brass hilt has a lovely urn-style pommel. There are several examples similar in form to this one in Neumann’s book “Swords & Blades of the American Revolution”, on pages 169, 170, and 177.
The blade retains a small amount of the original fire-bluing, very rare to find on blades of this period. There is scattered oxidation spotting but the blade has held up tremendously well for its age.
The saber measures 38 5/8” overall and retains a fantastic patina across. This is a tremendous locally made example of an American Horseman’s saber, one of the best we have ever offered. Comes ready to display.
