For an identical example of this pattern, see plate 10.S on page 65 of "Swords and Blades of the American Revolution" by George C. Neumann. The slightly curved single fullered blade is stamped on the left side, toward ricasso, with a crown over "1". The brass guard has depressed panels on both sides and a forward turned quillon. Turned ball pommel with tall integral capstan. The wooden grip is wrapped with braided copper wire. CONDITION: Blade retains a light grey patina with scattered areas of pitting and dark spotting. Hilt retails a pleasing mustard patina. An attractive sword that was probably used in both the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. DMG
