Great source of info!
Hello Glenn,
Spectacular amount of information here on eagle heads! Thanks for posting these! My favorite are the Prahl types and the early 4-slot hilt patterns. I had a question for you. You have a listing of Francis Thurkle types and I noticed many of the models listed have the side bar with the cut out diamond pattern guard. I was wondering if this was exclusive or at least a favorite design of his? I have a naval-type officer's sword c.1790 with the same type guard. I know Thurkle did all manner of naval officer type swords and was just curious. Thanks again for your diligence in posting this plethora of info!
