Featured in this lot is this circa 1750-1775 Colonial French and Indian War to Revolutionary War Cuttoe or Hanger Sword. This American Cuttoe/Hanger dates to the 2nd half 18th century. It has a simple hilt with small iron bilobate counter guard, a sheet iron pommel cap and a rich brown stag horn grip. The straight blade has a false edge at the tip and remnants of etched floral decorations on both sides of the blade plus some nicks in the edge indicating its actual use. The counter guard and pommel cap are toned to a deep silver-brown with fine to moderate natural surface oxidation. The stag horn grip has minor wear but is solid and the blade has mottled gray patination with fine underlying pitting. A small museum number is painted in white on one side of the blade close to the hilt. A nice example of this American use edged weapon. The condition of this Cuttoe or Hanger sword is well preserved with some patina to the antler tine handle and shows some patina to the blade itself but otherwise is well preserved. The measurements of this sword is 25 3/4" x 2 1/4" x 2 3/8". The collective weight of this sword is 10oz.
