سيف اللواء جون إ. وول الذي أهداه له الكونغرس تكريمًا له

Sword cutler Samuel Jackson American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 372

حُفظ هذا السيف على هيئته الأصلية تقريبًا، ويُعَدّ من أكثر السيوف أصالة وأجودها صنعة من بين السيوف الأمريكية المُصنّعة على الإطلاق. أهداه الكونغرس الأمريكي يوم 23 يناير 1854م إلى الجنوال وول تقديرًا لبسالته في معركة بوينا فيستا إبان حرب المكسيك ما بين 1848-1846م. وعلى عكس جلّ السيوف التشريفية الأمريكية التي كانت مُصنّعة وفق النماذج الأوروبية أو الكلاسيكية، فإنّ سيف وول أمريكيّ بالتأكيد في صياغته وأيقنته. ويعود العُرف المتمثل في إهداء السيوف لضبّاط الجيش تقديرًا لخدماتهم المتميّزة إلى زمن الثورة الأمريكية.
