31.5" blade. 38.25" overall with scabbard and hilt. An eagle-pommel militia officer's sword with silver plated hilt, mother of pearl grips, and blued blade. Straight single edged spearpoint blade with flat back and broad fuller measuring 16" in length. No visible maker markings on blade, or silversmith proofs. Bluing terminates in foliate patterns and is further embellished with gold plating to panoplies of arms, olive branches, and floral accents. Clamshell guard adorned with an en face and armor clad Greek goddess Athena flanked by vases overflowing with flowers. Gryphons in profile along the edges of the guard. Knuckle bow terminates in an Ionic curl with a Greek Panoply of Arms on the obverse side, and olive branches along the gripstraps. Scabbard is silver plated brass single seam construction with twin hanging loops and stud.

Fine. Blade retains a strong blue with some streaks and flecking, followed by light pitting spots of gray patina along bright blade. Edge remains unsharpened with few scattered bites. Silver plating worn down on the flats with tarnish on extant silver. Some stains to the left side of mother of pearl grips, and scattered light scratches overall. Scabbard finish flaking and abraded but retains a significant amount of the silver showing tarnish overall.
