Nice sword ; Andrew I guess there still are sleepers on ebay for those with the patience to find them.

Funny thing about the Lion's teeth; they look more like Geo. Washington's dentures.

Hi Ariel,

I had a brief run at this one. I think Jim is correct. There is a near identical hilt in Neuman Swords & Blades of the American Revolution on Page 108, 141.S. I think the scabbard is not original to this saber but appears to be the correct period.

All the best
Jeff

Embarrassment is a price for education...

I totally misread it.
Thanks to everyone for the lesson...
