This is an American copy of the classic mid-18th century brass-hilted grenadier's hangers. The American manufactured slightly curved blade has a slightly crude fuller along the top on both sides. The heart-shaped guard was made sans quillon and is fabricated rather than cast. There are two outward branches on the right side, the top branch is now absent. Spiraling brass grip with integral well-turned pommel. CONDITION: Completely as-found and untouched. Blade retains a dark dry surface. Hilt retains a brown patina. Top branch was broken off during the period of use. A very nice American hanger. DMG
