Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. Likely pre-war ornate brass eagle head saddle pommel.
3 in. ht. brass eagle head pommel with 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 in. opening at base (wear consistent with age and use, though most articulated features still visible; opening filled with wood). Pommel with what appear to be 4 mounting holes at base for attachment to saddle, though each have been filled with old nails and other material.
This style pommel was popular among militia offers in the pre-war period.
