This early American sword features a curved steel blade with detailed engravings, a brass hilt with an eagle head pommel, and a bone grip. The leather scabbard has brass fittings. Carried by officers during the War of 1812, this sword is a classic example of early Federal-period military sidearms. The eagle head motif was a highly popular symbol of American patriotism. The bone grip is ribbed and intact, displaying a warm golden patina from age. The blade is engraved with military trophies, and the leather scabbard remains functional with solid seams.
