Most likely French made, quite likely a British War of 1812 trophy.



The 31 3/4 inch blade is aged with a steady patina throughout, a little light rusting and some ominous period nicks to the forward cutting edge which speak of past use. The hilt with some movement, the grip less so. The hilt in overall good shape except for the quillon which is bent inwards towards the spine of the blade. The bone grip good, nicely age yellowed, some cracks as to be expected.
Most likely a fallen American officer’s sword, but in any event a scarce example and well worth was £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference number AF14. Further / full sized pictures available upon request. Box 1061-101x19x16 (1.620).
