Richard Bolton of Birmingham made numerous swords (especially Eagle Head swords) for the American market.  He was active in America at the turn of the 18th century and early 19th century.  However, as anti-British sentiment grew in America to culmination in the War of 1812, Bolton began being more subtle with the use of his name on the blades of his swords.  As seen here, the "Five Ball" pillow pommel was only popular from the late 1700's to 1815.
