johnny12550 Posted March 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 22, 2021 Hi, Can anyone identify the model of this type of sword? Someone told me it was an Infantry Officer’s sword, but didn’t know the Model. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel griffin Posted March 23, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2021 No was no regulation model date for this type, but an eagle pommel sword of the style typical of 1830-1840. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundance Posted March 23, 2021 Share #4 Posted March 23, 2021 Beautiful sword. You should consider getting "The American Eagle-Pommel Sword" by Mowbray. Lots of good info in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted March 23, 2021 Share #5 Posted March 23, 2021 Forgot to ask. What kind of shape is the blade in? Is it blue and gilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny12550 Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted March 23, 2021 Blade is clean. I was surprised to find this sword in such good shape. Blade is particularly blued. I’ll post some pics when I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunmore1774 Posted March 24, 2021 Share #8 Posted March 24, 2021 very pretty, pre-war or presentation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny12550 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted March 24, 2021 Don’t really know much about these swords. It’s the first eagle head sword that I own. According to Griffin it dates to about 20 years before the war. 1830-1840 time frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
