EARLY 19TH CENTURY AMERICAN EAGLE HEAD SABER
War of 1812 era American officers saber. 28.5 inch broad fuller curved blade, blued and engraved with patriotic and floral motif. Gilded brass hilt, with eagle's head pommel, and ivory grip. Leather two ring scabbard, with brass throat, band and chape. Blade shows loss and thinning to bluing from sharpening and scabbard wear. Hilt and fittings are tight, with hairline age fissures in ivory grip. Leather scabbard shows surface cracking from age, but is otherwise good. Overall very good example of an early American officers saber. This lot has a reserve.
