Original U.S. M1830 Officer's Fire Blued / Etched Eagle Head Pommel Sword with Scabbard & Bullion Hanger
-
Original item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice original Eagle Headed U.S. Officer's sword from the mid 1800s. The sword is all brass mounted with an interesting plain "D" hand guard and a very nice "closed mouth" Eagle pommel. The grip is carved / checked bone, and while it does show age, we do not see any cracks or chips on it at all. The eagle's head is very well executed, with a lovely antiqued brass patina. It is however now loose on the blade, as is the crossguard.
The sword is 35 inches long overall, with a straight 30 inch single edged blade, with a broad fuller. It has a bright steel finish, and the original etching is still well retained as is the fire bluing. No maker marks can be found on the blade.
The sword is matched with its lovely 32 inch long brass scabbard. The scabbard, which may have been plated at some point now displays a lovely aged brass patina. The best feature of the scabbard is the original bullion-like wire sword hanger, which still functions as intended.
A lovely sword from an early part of American History! Comes more than ready for further research and display.
