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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a lovely, rather difficult sword to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes more than ready for further research and display!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlade Length: 28\"\u003cbr\u003eBlade Style: Single Edged Curved Saber with Fuller\u003cbr\u003eOverall length: 33 1\/2“\u003cbr\u003eGuard: 4\" width x 4” length\u003cbr\u003eScabbard length: 31”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41547779964997,"sku":"ONJR24APNS041","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR24APNS041__01.jpg?v=1715023716","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-officer-war-of-1812-era-etched-eagle-head-sword-with-ivory-grip-and-brass-scabbard","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
