Description 1840 Model Musicians Sword – Presentation Grade with Etched Blade A scarce and visually striking example of the 1840 Model Musicians Sword, distinguished by its presentation-grade blade and decorative acid-etched panels. The blade remains bright and clean, retaining crisp and well-defined etched designs. These include patriotic and foliate motifs, along with a script-style presentation inscription that remains visible despite light age toning. The etching stands out nicely against the polished steel, offering strong eye appeal and indicating a higher-grade piece 1 of only a few handful known. The brass hilt exhibits a pleasing, mellow yellow tone with an even aged patina and scattered darker spotting. The grip and hilt components remain tight and well-preserved, maintaining their original form and integrity. The leather scabbard is in solid condition, retaining its black finish with only light wear and minor speckling. The stitching remains intact overall, though there is an area where the outer layer has lifted slightly along the seam, consistent with age. The brass throat and drag fittings remain in place, with the drag showing typical wear from use. Overall, a handsome and uncommon musicians sword with desirable etched blade decoration—an excellent display piece with strong collector appeal. Inventory Number: SWO 384
