For a sword with the same sheet iron four-slot D-guard with a "POTTER" marked blade, see plate 168.SS on page 359 of "Battle Weapons of the American Revolution" by George C. Neumann. The pommel is also a shortened version of the same type found on "POTTER" marked examples. There is also a wide ferrule beneath the pommel and another at the base. Wooden grip with uneven bulbous sections and wrapped with brown leather and two strands of thick iron wire. The long, slightly curved blade has three narrow partial fullers on each side. CONDITION: Blade retains a dark even patina with some scattered darker spots. Hilt retains a dark heavy patina with scattered pitting, right side of guard bent slightly forward. Grip leather shows cracking and flaking, some minor losses towards base. Iron ferrule at base of grip may be replaced. A very nice and massive American Revolutionary War cavalry saber.
