Here is an original pre-Civil War officer's sword. This is the style known to collectors as the Eagle pommel sword. Obviously they get their name from the brass pommel cap that is on the end of the grip holding the sword together. This one has the original eagle pommel intact as well as the brass hand guard. The handle is made of a well made made piece of carved bone and displays well from both sides. The sword side of the grip has the floral style piece that is often referred to a being a Widmann of Philadelphia trait. The hand guard itself has the U.S. style patriotic eagle with the shield in front of her on the langet. The blade is full length at 29 inches. It has a gray tone all over. The etching is still visible with some of the original gold wash in the protected areas. The front side has the floral design and the panoply of arms in the center. These swords were quite popular with officers during the pre-Civil War period and some were used during the Wars. It is accompanied by the original brass scabbard. The scabbard is the adorned style that has the detail bands on the mounts. It has both of the rings intact as well as the original drag at the bottom of the scabbard. The throat of the scabbard has been lost to the ages. This is great looking sword all the way around. Item #: C2469 Shipping Weight:
