Large 18th C. Revolutionary War era American Horsemans - Large 18th C. Revolutionary War era American Horsemans Broad Sword Rapier. Massive sword of most likely American or English manufacture, having a large iron mounted hilt with complex guard and wooden grip featuring stylized horse head pommel. Mounted with a broad double edged multi fullered blade. A serious and very battle worthy weapon definitely used by a cavalry horseman. Good condition with rich patina and wear overall consistent with the age, dating from early to mid 1700s but has definitely been in service by either side during the American Revolution.
