Lot Description
18th Century Silver Mounted Cuttoe with Green Dyed Spiral Grip
American Revolution
21.125" curved single-edged blade with a narrow, 6" long fuller near the spine near the hilt on the left side and a 12" fuller in the same position on the right side. The blade is 1" wide blade at the ricasso and 26.5" in overall length, including the capstan nut on the pommel cap. 5.5" hilt with spiral grooved green dyed ivory grip, unmarked silver pommel cap with capstan nut and unmarked silver ferrule. 3.8" S-shaped silver crossguard with disc quillons, showing a semi-legible touchmark on the left side of the upper arm of the guard. The sword is accompanied by a silver mounted leather scabbard with embossed patterns on the face. Mounts are unmarked and include a throat with a frog stud and suspension ring, a middle mount with suspension ring and a drag. Overall a nice example of a late 18th century hanger or cuttoe of the pattern often used by officers during the period of the American Revolution.
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
