Posted this in what is it. Also figured I would post it here. Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't have the sword in my possession and I don't own it. Just helping an elderly lady.
Long story short. I visited a dying patient at their house today to see if any adjustments were needed in her meds and she asked me if I wanted to see an old sword. Of course, I said yes. She states that this sword was carried by a solider who followed Washington around during the Rev. War. She has names of people it has been passed down through but no real providence. I told her I would take some pics and find out if this was possible. "If it is...we found an answer to your financial problems." The original owner is supposed to be Louis Bogner. He was taken Prisoner at Long Island. Later released and present at Brandywine and Yorktown. The sword was then willed to Orrin Bogner...and so fourth and so on.
