Description:

Manufactured from 1850 to 1857 by Eyre, Ward & Co. at their Sheaf Works in Sheffield, England. It measures 13 inches overall, with a 8 1/16 inch clip point blade with American patriotic slogans, an eagle, and floral scroll etched on the left. The marker's mark is stamped on the left ricasso, part of which was misstamped, cutting off the top of the mark. It is fitted with an oval German silver guard and a flatware-style silvered grip with floral motifs. Includes an orange leather scabbard with German silver fitting.

Rating Definition:

Fine, the blade mostly a bright grey patina with some scattered patches of light pitting and mostly visible etching. The German silver and silver show an attractively aged patina overall. The sheath is good with extensive wear.
