33" single edged blade with 23" spinal fuller and 27.5" median fuller, 1.375" wide at forte. French-style cavalry hilt with three-branch guard, ovoid quillons, and single recurved quillon. Wire-wrapped leather grip with lion's head pommel. Guard marked in script "Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna". Blade fire blued and gilt with floral motifs and "POR DEO Y PATRIA" with trophies of flags. Brass lapped scabbard with fan-style ring mounts. Scabbard engraved en suite with hilt "El Presidente/de la Republic Mexico/Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna/Y Perez de Lebron/16 Mayo 1833". Taken at the Battle of San Jacinto by the victorious Texans, this sword is one of several that would have been carried in the baggage of Santa Anna. As both a general and president, Santa Anna would have possessed multiple swords, to be worn as the occasion required; considering himself "The Napoleon of the West", the General carried with him on campaign the finest possible accoutrements. **Very good condition overall. Blade has a mostly dark gunmetal patination with moderate scattered oxidation with some wear to bluing and some remnants of gilt. Hilt has a dull luster with some scattered verdigris and darkening in low areas. Scabbard shows some oxidation and verdigris with some dents and wear from age and use.**  Provenance Sam Houston Family Collection “Battle for Texas: The Experienceâ€, San Antonio, Texas $75,000-$150,000
