Victorian Silver Pin, Indian Head and Eagle Sword Langet!

[bergie]

Jeff (Skunemonk) was nice enough to take me to this 1700s home not long ago. I found what appears to be Victorian era silver pin (any thoughts, let me know). Also, 1865 Indian Head and this eagle sword Langet (thanks to PBK and Evolution for the update just now, how old a sword?). Back of it is flat with no marks. Thanks to Earthworks for taking the photos.

The eagle & shield item looks as if it might be a sword langet.

Very cool, guys, thanks for the ID. How old would the sword be?

Can't say for sure about yours, but similar eagle & shield langets were used on some militia and infantry officers' swords of the 1820's-30's.

(The one I posted was listed as c. 1810-12.)
