Description:

Manufactured by Clauberg of Solingen and sold by Fitch & Waldo of New York, 38 1/2 inches overall, a 32 3/4 inch double fuller blade decorated with etched American patriotic motifs, "IRON PROOF" on the spine, the maker's mark on the left and the merchant mark on the right. Gilt brass hilt with pierced and engraved floral decoration on the guard, an American shield and laurel wreath pattern on the pommel, a wire wrapped sharkskin grip and a gold ribbon sword knot. With a metal scabbard fitted with gilt brass furniture.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with some extremely minor spotting on the excellent bright original high polished blade, 85% plus gilt finish on the hilt, mostly intact brown finish visible on the scabbard, and a few scattered dings on the scabbard fittings. One will look a long time to find a finer example!
