An early pre Civil War c. 1830 - 1850 Militia Officer's sword. For reference, please see Peterson's "THE AMERICAN SWORD 1775 - 1945", ppgs 78 - 79.

The quillons are straight with acorn finials and there are shell shaped langets.

Blade measures 31 in length and is unmarked as to maker. Blade is etched with what appears to be a Damascus pattern.
