1715 German 24 Mariengroschen Coin – Sharp NGC MS-62 Example
Lot # 407 (Sale Order: 101 of 292)
This 1715 German 24 Mariengroschen, certified Mint State 62 by NGC, is a beautifully preserved relic of early 18th-century German coinage. With sharp details and a distinguished pedigree from the Wolf-Metternich Collection, this coin is a rare and historically significant piece. In fact, it's the finest known of only four certified examples of this beloved design for a world silver coin.
American Revolutionary War-Era French Hunting Sword by Pichon, Silver Hilt - 1750-1760
Lot # 408 (Sale Order: 102 of 292)
War of 1812 American Eaglehead Officer's Sword - L. Wells & Co. New York, Ornate Blade Design
Lot # 409 (Sale Order: 103 of 292)
It is marked on the reverse near the ricasso with the rare New York dealer's stamp: "L. Wells & Co." Though the scabbard is missing and a small portion of the hilt is damaged, the sword remains structurally sound and collectible.
This type of sword was typical for U.S. officers during the War of 1812, particularly artillery and militia officers. The Eagle Head pommel and the decorative 5-ball knucklebow signify an American patriotic style that was evolving in opposition to European forms. According to Richard Bezdek's "American Swords and Sword Makers" (p. 317), L. Wells & Co. was active between 1799?1807. This specific dealer mark makes it an especially valuable research and display piece, tying it directly to early American commercial arms trade.

American Revolutionary War Hunting Sword (Cuttoe) - Circa 1760, Referenced in Neumann's Work
Lot # 421 (Sale Order: 115 of 292)
The style and form of this piece are directly referenced in George C. Neumann's "Swords & Blades of the American Revolution," p. 97, #106S, confirming its authenticity and period use.
Hunting swords were favored sidearms for colonial officers and militiamen, offering a compact and easily carried blade with both martial and utilitarian value. Often made or assembled domestically using imported European blades, these swords were used for close-quarter combat, ceremonial display, and daily survival in the field. By the time of the Revolution, the hunting sword had become a symbol of colonial resistance, wielded by men fighting not with formal military issue, but with whatever they had at hand. This example speaks directly to that improvisational spirit and the birth of the American identity in arms.

Likely issued during the late 19th to early 20th century, it has a broad blade typical of the machete-hanger hybrid favored by German field units. A fine collector's item representing the transitional period of edged weapons in German military history.
