PRESERVING AMERICAN HISTORY, POST REVOLUTIONARY WAR, FEDERAL PERIOD, WAR OF 1812 BUELL & GREENLEAF 2ND CONTRACT SWORD DATED 1799. BEATIFUL RARE SWORD UNTOUCHED, ONLY A FEW EXAMPLES SURVIVED.
Rare Second Contract of 1799 Cavalry Saber manufactured by Abel Buell and David Greenleaf of Hartford, Connecticut in 1799. Buell and Greenleaf made 1000 sabers of this pattern under contract with the United States. The saber has a curved 34-inch pointed blade with a 7-inch false edge and a narrow un-stopped fuller. The blade is 1 7/16-inches wide at the hilt. The obverse of the blade is stamped with a script, "U.S." monogram above the date 1799 in two lines running perpendicular to the edge. The iron grip has a stirrup-shaped knuckle bow and down-turned quillion with prominent disk. The convex backstrap forms a flat-top pommel. The wooden grip has a leather cover wrapped with twisted brass wire. This is a very rare saber that is seldom seen in U.S. edged weapons collections.
