AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR HANGER C.1770-80

Provincially made example. Brass hilt comprising stirrup form guard with loop side guard, lighter throughout than commercially produced examples. Raised edge pommel with integral mounded button. Wood grip, perhaps walnut, expanding awkwardly toward the pommel and originally mounted with four brass capped bosses each side. The brass dark with aged patina. The wood dry with age crack and small loss at the guard terminal.  24 ¼” curved blade, very slightly concave each side and blacksmith made.
