The slightly curved "Spanish" style blade has three partial fullers on each side. The right side, near the top, is engraved with military motifs and a patriotic "chicken" eagle in a cartouche. The opposite side is engraved with the same. The heavy guard forms a diamond around the blade and has a forward-facing quillon. The Hussar hilt has a leather-wrapped wooden grip with two strands of wire wrap. CONDITION: Blade retains a dark patina with some nicks to edge and scattered areas of heavier patina. Hilt retains a dark patina with some freckling. Grip shows some scattered minor losses to leather. A very attractive American cavalry saber.
