For another example of hilt with a pommel of this type, see plate 72.SS on page 327 of "Battle Weapons of the American Revolution" by George C. Neumann. The unfullered American-made blade is wide, measuring 1 - 3/4". The four-slot guard is brass, as well as the knob-shaped pommel, which has engraved bands. Walnut grip with bulbous sections. This style hilt is attributed to Salem, Massachusetts. CONDITION: Blade retains a heavy brown as-found surface with some pitting and a couple nicks to edge. Hilt retains a dark brown patina, quillon bent slightly forward. Grip and hilt are slightly loose. A very attractive American Revolutionary War sword. DMG
