The rare Revolutionary War sword (Museum of the American Revolution)
An extremely rare silver-hilted sword used by an American officer during the Revolutionary War is set to go on display for the first time.
The small sword was owned by Col. Jonathan Pettibone of the 18th (Connecticut) Regiment, who fought in the battles for New York in 1776. Pettibone, of Simsbury, Connecticut, died in Rye, New York, in September of that year, shortly after the Battle of Long Island.
The weapon, which is inscribed with Pettibone’s name, will go on display at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia beginning in 2018.
