- Lot Description
North America, United States, ca. early 20th century CE. A handsome ceremonial or fraternal steel saber and nickel silver scabbard. Tapering to a sharp tip, the single-edged steel blade presents a high central ridge and a decoratively etched strong (forte) beautifully adorned with a swirling floral motif. Five nickel silver bands wrap around the ricasso. The black wooden grip features four indentations for one to place their fingers topped by a nickel silver quillion that curves upwards on one side and downwards on the other to end at the pommel forming a sweeping, openwork knuckle guard. The lustrous scabbard boasts two raised bands with suspension hoops, for strapping to one's side, and a flange protruding from the bottom. Size: 39" L x 4.75" W (99.1 cm x 12.1 cm); Size of blade: 32" L (81.3 cm)
The top of the grip is engraved with "DE MOULIN / BROS & CO / GREENVILLE, ILL", which is a marching band uniform company that often resold ceremonial and fraternal swords.
Provenance: ex-Estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, acquired before 2000; ex-Andy Garcia collection
