Description
Ah, the 1776 Battle of Bunker Hill Sword , a true echo of the Revolution. This piece carries a blade stretching 24 inches, crafted from EN45 steel, known for its durability and ability to hold a polished sheen that catches the light just right. The edge is left blunt, as was common for many ceremonial or dress swords of the era, ensuring it serves well as a historical keepsake rather than a weapon of war. The handle, measuring 5 inches, is fashioned from solid brass, both grip and hilt, providing not only strength but a warm, aged patina that speaks to the craftsmanship of the late 18th century. The scabbard, built from wood and sheathed in faux leather with brass fittings, completes the look, offering a glimpse into the practical yet refined style of Revolutionary officers.
