This partial sword appears to have been dug and is in relic condition. For a nearly identical example, see plate 53.SS on page 321 of George Neaumann's "Battle Weapons of the American Revolution". This circa 1770 to 1780 sword has a battle broken partial double-fullered blade measuring 7-3/4". The iron four slot guard is fluted on the outside of the knucklebow. The iron pommel is gadrooned. The ivory grip is deeply fluted and once had a strip of decorative copper around it, evidenced by the green stained grooves. CONDITION: Dark heavy pitted patina overall. Guard is slightly twisted. Grip very good with a chip on underside, below pommel. A very interesting Revolutionary War battle relic. DMG
