F & I War Sword Date 1759

F and I War Sword Dated 1759

Very desirable F & I War sword dated 1759. Rare to fine a dated sword especially from this era. This sword has a iron hilt, grip with shell guard and a running fox and date of 1759 on the blade. It is most likely a German (Hessian) sword but because it has a hilt of a much earlier style than normally found in 1759, it could be a European blade with a hilt by an American blacksmith.
