Closely resembles the 1751 British Infantry sword. This sword was present in the colonies at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War and was used by many American soldiers. There are many variations. Our sword has slightly curved, single-edged blade with false edge 3 1/4" back from point. Brass grip is moulded in a spiral pattern with ball-shaped pommel. Large capstan rivet gives it the appearance of a vase. Knuckel bow is a four-sided strip which expands on either side of the blade toform a heart-shaped counter-guard. Half-basket guard. Scabbard is black leather with brass throat and tip. Stud on throat for attachment of frog. Blade is 24" long x 1 1/8" wide and is 29 1/2" overall.

This sword arrived today and is better than expected; stout blade light and very well suited for close quarters. The guard is a tad small for my hand as my index finger knuckle rubs against it; I suppose the Continentals who used these were of shorter stature? That being said; for the American Revolutionary period this sword is well worth a place in anyone's collection.
