Sword guard

[dugit]

I dug this in a field today, it was only about 2 inches deep and screaming loud about an 82 on my xlt.
This field was my third location of the day. I'm not sure of a date but it looks like its old.

Awesome, what part of the U.S. are you located if you don't mind?

 

[dugit]

I live in north west Louisiana.

Nice find, you need to work that field over....HH

I think that could be a guard from a model 1833 Dragoon saber.

Mighty Fine Indeed , you must be thrilled , anything related to the Dragoons is quite a significant piece of history.
