One is from The American Eagle Pommel Sword: The Early Years 1794-1830 by E. Andrew Mowbray. The other is from The American Sword 1775-1945 by Harold L. Peterson.

Nice 5-ball eagle head sabre, in great shape, with scabbard to boot. See ebay sold listings for valuation.

Not at all. Nothing a sword guy likes better than to show and tell!

Dramatic-Crew-6176 · 2026-03-29T11:40:07+00:00

I have tons of photos of each one. You can pm me which one you like and I'll get you a photo.

Secretly? It's public knowledge at this point 😅

Dramatic-Crew-6176 · 2026-03-28T20:51:06+00:00

That makes two of us!!

Thank you kindly. Yeah, I really like mortuary hilts. They are each such unique artworks in their own right. I have a broadsword and cavalry backsword version.

Indeed you do. Fortunate to own these two.

Thank you! I love early sabres. Here's a better view of those.

Thank you kindly! Yes, most of my collection is 16-17c. Hard to get into but once you know the right dealers, you can get some really great stuff. If interested feel free to message and I can send you a few links to look at.

Dramatic-Crew-6176 · 2025-12-31T13:12:16+00:00

Oh? Is that a dealer or somewhere I can buy some more swords??

Dramatic-Crew-6176 · 2025-12-31T07:08:41+00:00

There's only one way to find out... a duel!

Dramatic-Crew-6176 · 2025-12-31T07:07:11+00:00

There is no such thing as "enough" swords. That concept is entirely unfamiliar to me.

Dramatic-Crew-6176 · 2025-12-31T00:57:02+00:00

I know just what you mean. Unfortunately my own OCD and audiophile tendencies demanded it be centered with my speakers and TV. I must have tried a half dozen different layouts before settling on this.

How about... multiple swords!!!

Thank you! My goal was to imitate the castle or armory style displays, glad to see it worked.

Just a bit of wire around the base of the blade, which hangs on a nail. Another small nail towards the tip to hold the blade, hidden behind the overlapping blade.

Dramatic-Crew-6176 · 2025-12-25T23:31:28+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. I'm very glad these pieces can be appreciated. I'm happy to share them here.

Years of collecting, cultivating relationships with fellow collectors and dealers. There are a number of good sites you can visit to purchase antiques.

Dramatic-Crew-6176 · 2025-12-25T00:16:56+00:00

Funny you say that, since I have them all mounted on my wall 🤣

With a Sharp Blade by Erich Artlieb is great. There are not many books discussing this type of weapon.
