Officer hanger, lion head, pierced quillion and guard, spiral grip

In stock - December 4, 2019

Even with a somewhat naive lion pommel, this American officer hanger remains a high quality side arm. The guard has a double bow and is adorned with volutes. The hilt is cast in a white brass alloy to give it a silver look. The green bone grip has a twisted wire inlay.

Sturdy blade and tooled scabbard with suspensions rings.
