Description: CELLPHONE USERS PLEASE CLICK ON THE DESCRIPTION LINK TO VIEW DETAILS AND PHOTOGRAPHS! Fine Scarce American Cavalry Officer's Style War of 1812 "Horse Head" Pommel Saber & Original Sheath Click images to enlarge Description For Consideration is a Fine, Scarce American Cavalry Officer's Style War of 1812 Horse Head Pommel Saber with Scabbard! Imported before the outbreak of the War of 1812, the horse head pommel sword is chiefly recognized as a British design, in contrast to the Bald Eagle often found on American pommels. While most examples are artillery style, with shorter blades and gilt furniture (see page 106 of "Peterson's The American Sword" 1775-1945 for an example; in particular, note the bridle design on the horse head), this example shows the hallmarks of a cavalry or dragoon saber, with a longer curved blade and the silver-clad furniture that would become an American standard for cavalry. Measuring 38 inches overall, the curved single fuller blade is 32.5 inches long, with niter blue fields reaching 2/3rds of the length, gold highlighted engraving with American patriotic and military themes, and "J. COOPER'S/Warranted" on the right side. The hilt is silver finished brass, with a standard-pattern rear quillion, a beautiful checkered criss crossed and polished carved bone grip, and a sharply detailed horse head pommel, with a well rendered bridle and the mane going down the back of the grip. With the original 33-inch black leather sheath, outfitted with finished brass throat, suspension band, and tip with contoured upper edge and trimmed drag. The fine blade shows 85%+ of the original niter blue and gold finish, with some patches of very light pitting near the tip. and a few minor dings are visible lower down on the edge. The hilt is good, with a minor chip and age cracks visible on the bone grip, a well-aged Gilded brass color overall, and strong traces of deep. The sheath is good, with some cracking and scuffs on the leather and a few dents on the brass components, which are aged to match the hilt. A fine example of a Scarce American Military Sword formally on display in a Private Museum in Worcester, Massachusetts.
