Sword in Museum Identification

Thanks for your help. I received a very nice email from the curator of the museum.

"Dear Mr. Ferguson:

Your email has been forwarded to me.

The sword you are referring to is on display in the Colonial section of our exhibit, Cape Fear Stories: Land of the Longleaf Pine. We borrowed it from Moore’s Creek National Battlefield, located in Currie, NC. When we contacted them to borrow military objects to represent this battle of the American Revolution, they offered us the sword. Their information identified it as Scottish made and probably used by a Colonial patriot soldier.

I will forward your message on to them so they may be aware of your identification. They may want to update their records.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and information. We appreciate it!

Best regards,
