A very rare VOC, Dutch East India Company, officers saber with deep blade marks of the VOC, Amsterdam and dated 1771 both sides!
Exceptional early saber with full scabbard and silver mounts (scabbard age shrunken and cracked in 2 beneath mid mound, but displays perfectly.) See photos. Blade is about 29” long. The silver hilt has no cracks or repairs, just a little age deformation. It can use a better cleaning. Grip and grip wire is completely intact and grip has some age cracking.
This great sword most probably belonged to a VOC captain or admiral.
Original silver hilted Dutch VOC swords are very seldom, if ever, encountered!

This important sword was once part of the Robert McCaully collection (brass inventory tag still on sword) and then part of the Peter Tillou collection (the well known international antiques dealer and collector).

Price is firm. Thanks for looking!
