As good as it gets. This Tiffany sword is near mint with spectacular Collins-marked blade, the etching of which is of the highest quality that is so defined that it looks like a pen & ink drawing. It is adorned in the highest style with Patriotic Naval Motifs of sailors, officers and a spectacular image of Neptune. The hilt is equally impressive with silver grip and a spectacular cast head of Sea God Neptune in heavy gold-gilt. The scabbard is probably the working sheath of an original cased pair that was originally with the sword. It shows heavy gold gilt mounts on the sharkskin scabbard. Only a handful of these spectacular swords exist, and they are seldom on the market. This is true museum quality. Call for details.
