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 seventeen variably-shaped grooves for a better grip. This is a more simplified example with a tremendous stamped iron D-guard which terminates in a curved quillion and cylindrical bulged pommel cap. The blade has a single fuller on each side for 24” of the 30 ⅞” blade. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slightly curved blade is still tight to the hilt and is in great shape without any serious edge nicking. The finish of the guard is great for its age, but the finish of the grip shows heavy wear. It may have been refinished at a later date, but it displays very nicely. There are several examples similar in form to this one in Neumann’s book “Swords \u0026amp; Blades of the American Revolution”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saber measures 37” overall and retains a fantastic patina across. This is a tremendous locally made example of an American Horseman’s saber, one of the nicest we have offered.
