Nicely done Cerjak,
I have discovered that these type pommels are seen on French smallswords for officers as early as 1750s and the 'four slot' guards are seen on British cavalry swords and hangers as early as late 1750s. Since in those times, French styles often diffused into British, and essentially the American colonists were still British, this could very well have been the case with this hanger. A very good find I would say!
