Description from HiBid
This sword represents a very popular pre-Civil War American form. The brass hilt has a smooth, rounded, “birds-head” pommel and “reverse-P” knuckleguard slotted for a sword a knot. The ribbed Leather Wrapped Wood Grip is in excellent condition. A backstrap runs from the pommel to meet a brass ferrule at the guard. The guard terminates at top with a flat rondel on the quillon. The blade is curved, single edged and measures about 32 inches with a broad, central fuller. Excellent.
