The sword does not have any American maker’s markings, or inspector\'s stamps, and also does not have any markings of the European sword makers, who exported swords to USA, the brass hilt, and the leather on grip, are not as thick, as are on the1840 pattern saber, which would indicate that this sword was made by one of the small manufacturers.
