(POST-REVOLUTION HORSEMAN SABER)
A great ca.1790 Horseman's lion-head saber with leather scabbard, measuring 38 1/2" from the pommel to the tip of the blade. No maker's marks are present with heavy rust-colored patina and nicks affecting the blade. The heavily-constructed brass grip and knuckle guard suggest a non-American manufacturer. The scabbard is complete with the usual wear to the leather while the brass furniture still retains traces of gold plating. Overall very good.
