Circa 1745-1765, the monster or gargoyle style hangers date back to the late 17th century. This has the cast rope design grip and a slightly dished heart shaped counterguard. Of particular interest is an original in the Concord Antiquarian Museum bearing the mark "X RG C VI-N 10" which indicates the 10th Regiment of British Infantry, its sixth Battalion company and the number of the private of that company to whom the sword was issued. This sword has a single fuller curved blade, 25 3/4" in length and the grip is brass.
