I have a friend here in Massachusetts who has been a 'Yankee Horse Trader', restauranteur and collector of old stuff most of his life; we swap stuff often.
He was departing for Florida for the winter and told me to choose one from a pile he had in his backyard.
So I did.

Some were solid and some were like the example shown in my post. I also acquired a full-length Virginia Armory type 2 hussar's saber from him which is a pretty rare American sword.
