C.1780 English Infantry Hanger Short Sword

Unusual c.1780 English infantry hanger short sword.  With an early form of stirrup hilt – typical period crude hilt attachment to the pommel – similar attachments to hangers of this time are noted in Swords and Blades of the American Revoution by Neumann.  The grip is made from shaped wood – probably walnut.  Blade of fullered style found on English swords of the late-18th Century.  Interesting and probably unique example.  Blade length is 24.5 inches (29.5 inches overall).
