This antique pre-Civil War era American militia officer's sword features a 29-inch straight polished steel blade and is offered without a scabbard. The hilt structure is dominated by an intricately cast-brass eagle head pommel showing crisp feather detailing on the reverse casing. A beautifully preserved, ribbed grip carved from genuine aged bone is securely bound with original coiled wire tiers. The un-marked single-edged blade incorporates a deep fuller groove designed to reduce overall weapon weight while maintaining structural rigidity. The ornate knuckle bow features a central oval medallion pattern that integrates smoothly into the counter-guard assembly. Lacking any visible maker's marks on the ricasso, this style typifies the bespoke militia presentation pieces sold by early American military goods outfitters.
