Swords:
Here's a nice and desirable
Horstmann-made US Foot
Officer's sword. The "W. H.
Horstmann Sons -
Philadelphia" maker's etching
is clearly visible upon the
ricasso, as is much of the
beautiful etching upon the
blade. There is some pitting
toward the end of the blade,
The original wire is intact,
but most of the sharkskin
wrap has worn away. The
brass guard is beautiful with
a dark brass patina.
