xxSOLDxx Revolutionary War Saber attributed to Jeremiah Snow

This is a Jeremiah Snowe attributed stirrup guard cavalry saber with scabbard brass mounts but missing leather.  This has the features typically found on Snowe swords of the Revolutionary War period, namely:  1) a small urn pommel, 2/3 the size of other makers;  2) a unique and typical of Snowe knuckle guard;  3) a typical cherry grip;  4) a triple fuller blade, and finally 5) the brass scabbard mounts have the characteristic diamond shaped stud found only on Snowe swords.  The saber is 39 1/2" overall length with a 34" three fuller blade.  Although the blade is unmarked, it is probably an import and hilted by Snowe.  The sword is in excellent condition, retaining 12" of fire blueing on the blade.  Snowe was working in Springfield, MA by 1760 and is known to have been commissioned by the Massachussetts Committee of Safety to make cavalry sabers.  Examples of Snowe swords are pictured in George Neuman's "Swords and Blades of the American Revolution", Pg 125, No.192; Dan Hartzler's "Silver Mounted Swords-The Lattimer Family Collection"Pg 307, Fig. 500; Neuman's book "Weapons of the American Revolution" Pg 254-255 No. S.55; and Al Benting's book "For Liberty I Live", Pg 190-191.   **SOLD**
