Original U.S. M1821 Regulation Infantry Officer's Eagle Head Pommel Sword with Checkered Bone Grips & Eagle Chape

Original item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice original Eagle Headed U.S. Officer's sword from the early 1800s. This exact pattern is of the 1821 regulation. The sword is all brass mounted with an interesting "D" hand guard and a very nice "closed mouth" Eagle head pommel. The grip is carved / checked bone, and while it does show age, we do not see any cracks or chips on it at all. The eagle's head is very well executed, with a lovely antiqued brass patina. It is however now a small bit loose on the blade, as is the crossguard.

The sword is 35 inches long overall, with a straight 30½ inch single edged blade, with a broad fuller. It has a dark steel finish with some great light etching on both slides of the blade with small patriotic motifs. There is heavy oxidation across the blade but it is still straight. 

A lovely sword from an early part of American History! Comes more than ready for further research and display.
