The blade was re-used in the Rebolutionary War period by adding a very heavy iron guard and a solid hardwood wooden handle. The sword is extremely well balanced with the iron handle capable of withstanding heavy blows. When showed this sword recently George Neumann, an authority on Colonial swords and arms, stated that this was a real fighting man's sword due to the heavy handle and guard.
