SU-56.  American 1820-1830 era Militia Infantry Officer's Sword marked on the blade by the manufacturer of AW Spies.   AW Spies was active at producing swords from about 1820 to 1851.  The 1820s eagle head officer's swords were carried and popular with officers of the infantry up to and including the Civil War.  This sword is in overall good condition for it's age.  There are minor chips on the mother-of-peal handle and the cross guard is slightly loose and can be twisted from side to side.  There is light surface rust (or darkening) on areas of the blade especially near the tip, however, nothing too  major or detracting.  Overall, a very nice sword that displays extremely well........$2,100.
