Beautiful American Revolutionary period sword undoubtedly made by John Bailey, America’s famous Revolutionary War sword cutler and maker of General George Washington’s famous “battle sword”. The sword that Washington carried throughout the Revolution. This sword exhibits and matches exactly, Bailey’s form and design that can be seen on several signed specimens of his work in leading museums and leading private collections. The guard’s chasing and design along with the grip material, carving and wire match a rare Bailey sword that was sold at Doyle’s New York for $74,500.00 on April 13th 2010. (see last photo) Here is a link: https://doyle.com/auctions/10am01-american-furniture-decorative-arts/catalogue/155-an-important-and-historic Bailey signed a number of his swords on the throat of the scabbard. (This one is missing its scabbard.) and several swords were left unsigned due to his vast demand for fast production of swords during the war. This sword was most probably produced up state New York at the shop he set up at the military depot at Verplank’s Point, New York, then Fishkill, New York or at his farmstead cutlery at Fredericksburg, New York during the War. This sword, as far as Bailey’s go, is a great rarity as it employs a full knuckle bow (only seen on a few other Bailey swords) and it has a straight blade (only noted on one other Bailey sword). There are some natural aging cracks to the grip and some cracks to the silver guard, see photos. They have been there for hundreds of years and do not distract from this rare beauties value. The guard is entirely intact and completely solid with all the beautiful bright cut and chasing work (top and bottom) employed by the hand of John Bailey. The cap pommel is unusual as it is not of the standard “flat cap” variety as usually seen on Rev War period swords. It has a wonderful scalloped form with its original tall capstan rivet intact! The 32” long spadroon blade is in excellent shape with much of its original bright finish intact! THIS GREAT RARITY OF AN AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY SILVER HILTED SWORD IS A TRUE GEM AND IS OF MUSEUM QUALITY!!! PRICE IS FIRM AND DOES NOT INCLUDE PP&I.
