Description
This pattern of sword dates as early as 1800 and up to around 1820 and is one of a very few known with a chain guard and langets. The original bright fire blue remains almost fully intact on the blade, as does the gilt wash. The brass gilt mounts and scabbard retain a generous portion of the original lacquer finish as well. This fine blade was once in the collection of noted historian and author George Neumann as well as Bill Guthmann.
