Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. The War of 1812 was a very strange War. The Americans invaded Canada, the British retaliated and burned the White House, Peace was declared and then the British lost the Battle of New Orleans because no one realized the War was over!
Here we have a very smart looking, original Eagle Headed and ivory gripped U.S. Officer's sword from the 1812 War period or immediate post war era. The sword is all brass mounted with a standard but slight "P" hand guard and a very nice closed beak Eagle pommel. The grip is fluted ivory, and is loose on the tang with minor chipping. The hand guard is also very loose, and the original gilding on the brass is present but mostly gone.
Overall it is 33.5 inches long, with a 28 inch long faintly engraved single edge curved blade. There is some light staining and extensive surface pitting.
The included brass scabbard appears to be original to the sword and is in mostly solid condition. The brass is tarnished but still lovely. There are some hard bends in the scabbard but nothing that impedes the sword from being sheathed.
This is a lovely, rather difficult sword to find.
Comes more than ready for further research and display!
