A sword belonging to George Washington, first president of the United States of America. He is believed to have worn it during his resignation as Commander in Chief in 1783 and when inaugurated as president in 1789.

This type of sword was commonly worn by officers and other gentlemen in formal occasions. These weapons were developed as very light and compact civilian sidearms. It was commonly used for duels and sometimes for self-defense, but for military purposes most preferred a more substantial cut-and-thrust weapon, like a cutlass.

This blade is of the colichemarde variant, characterized by its wide forte which abruptly tapers into a narrow profile. Its hollow triangular shape makes it an excellent thrusting sword, but at the same time makes it incapable of cutting. The broad portion of the blade is decorated with intricate engravings. The grip is wrapped with silver ribbon and wire, while the rest of the hilt is gilt with silver and gold.

The gods envy us. They envy us because we are mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.
