This pre-Civil War officer's sword features a straight, slender steel blade decorated with etched decorative patterns. The brass hilt has a detailed guard and a wire-wrapped leather grip. The blade surface shows minor discoloration and light wear along the edges. Manufactured by the Horstmann firm in Philadelphia, this model was designed for militia and staff officers during the Mexican-American War. These swords represented both authority and functional defense during the mid-nineteenth century. The blade is deeply etched with floral motifs and military trophies. The brass pommel features a classical urn shape, and the brass scabbard has two suspension rings.
