This example Harold Peterson illustrated as #5 and he puts a date on it of 1795 to 1810. This is a copy of an earlier British pattern with its brass D guard "pillow pommel" and single piece ribbed horn grips. The 1 1/2-inch-wide single edged blade is 26 inches long with a very wide fuller that runs for 24 inches. The blade is mottled and gray but shows no pitting worth mention and one small nick. There is no scabbard.  Required to be worn by non-commissioned officers and ensigns (color bearers) this is the sword you want for a War of 1812 collection. [pe]  [ph:L]
