A U.S. Model 1850 Foot Officer sword with a presentation inscription: it was given to Captain F.J. Fearon by the Fox Guard in 1859, and his initials are engraved on the pommel as well. The sword is sold used, with the presentation and the engraving as its identifying facts.

A named and dated presentation sword is a research piece for a New Mexico collector of American militaria. The Fox Guard inscription and the 1859 date give a starting point for tracing the officer and his unit, and the pommel initials tie the sword to him a second way. It is offered as described, with no further provenance claimed beyond the inscription itself. Swords are shipped as collectibles, without the paperwork that applies to firearms.
