Early American Eagle Pommel Officer'S Hanger Circa 1785-1795 Autographs, Memorabilia & Collectibles

The Eagle Head Sword was prominently adopted by militias and the American military shortly after the American Revolution. This sword is a great example of the early eagle pommel swords representing the American sword maker's transition to the new national symbol. During the Federal period, the design reached its peak fading into the 1840's. The abundance, style, and variety of these swords makes them very unique finds for collectors. Mounted in brass, the sword represents a merging of several regional details. There is a swirl carved bone grip with brass eagle head design on the end.
