Hello Bryce I take it you are saying "pommel and guard attachment" can date these swords and post 1760 would have the guard with a ring just forward of the pommel?

Bryce thank you!!! I had heard of Potters's but had no idea. I think I have been obsessed with the clipped point.
In this incredible article (again I cannot thank you enough), it is noted that the 'Potter' was based on the British 'pattern' 1756 ? Could this have been a 'light dragoon' design with the ring around pommel base often seen on basket hilts? Could this be a 'Potter'....but I found it in London ? The article shows a trooper with a 'captured' one. |
