Dress Sword
ca 1775
This small sword was owned by the Copp family of Stonington, Connecticut during the late half of the 18th century. The sword was likely owned as a dress sword, and the scabbard appears to be made from a bayonet sheath. The hilt has a wooden grip and a metal pommel and knuckle-guard.
