Description
U.S. Mounted Artillery Officer's Sword.Dates from 1820-1840. A splendid, early American mounted sword showing a dark patina throughout the scabbard and hilt. Finely carved bone grip and a single branch knuckle bow which is twisted in form. Twisted knuckle bow is a design seldom seen on swords.

Displayed on the center of the scabbard is a finely engraved American eagle standing on a shield. The blade has remnants of blue and gold panel showing a panoply of arms and the retailer S.B. POND AND CO. This sword features a large, wide and curved 31 1/2-inch blade for mounted use. Remarkable example of a Mexican War Era Mounted Artillery Officer's Sword. 36 1/2-inches in overall length.
Condition: Fine as presented, with traces of blue and gold on the blade. The hilt is slightly loose but solid and intact.
