Peter Tuite
US Naval Officers: Their Swords and Dirks
ISBN-10: 1931464162
ISBN-13: 978-1931464161

In this later treatise, Tuite lists both brass and unmarked silver examples as synonymous and likely American made. The dates range from the first two decades of the 19th century. He shows both brass and silver examples with engraved scabbards and both types of pommels but none in that series of plates with mother of pearl.
