Description: This listing is for an American Revolution Period Hanger Sword with Scabbard by Osborn c1780 From the original dealer with regard to this specific weapon: "Blade measures 28", total length of sword is 35" and marked Osborn on the back edge. Original tooled leather scabbard complete with all brass fittings. The hilt also made from brass with what looks like a tiger-head pommel. Fish skin grip bound with copper wire. Age, c1780. Very similar looking swords can be found in the reference book, "Swords and Blades of the American Revolution" by George C. Neumann. Good original condition, solder mark where the hilt meets the pommel (probably come loose at some time). Scabbard stitching partly coming undone, stains to the blade." Please look at the photos and judge the condition of the sword for yourself. The photos in the listing are of the item you will be receiving and are part of the description. If you need any additional photos please ask. My father was a lifelong collector of swords and flintlock pistols from the American Revolutionary War through the Civil War. He retained detailed files of where each item was purchased, and only bought from well-known dealers of high integrity. If you would like additional details on a specific item please let me know. At the time of his death, the collection remained with my mother. I am selling the collection on her behalf to provide additional funds for her retirement and in the hopes these phenomenal items may find homes with other collectors. Sincere offers will be considered. Having grown up with many of these weapons on display in our home, I am familiar with the history of them although I am not an expert on appraising edged weapons. Shipping is free in the United States. The package will require signature confirmation on receipt due to the dollar value of the item.
