Measuring 11 1/2 inches overall, with a 6 1/2 inch blade, stamped "MANSON/SHEFFIELD" on the left ricasso with a 4 1/8 inch false edge. The left side is etched "OK" in the center, with "AMERICANS/ASK FOR NOTHING BUT WHAT IS/RIGHT" on the left and "AND WILL SUBMIT/TO NOTHING/WRONG" on the right. The hilt is cast German silver, with an oval guard and raised scroll decorations on the grip. With a black leather sheath with German silver fittings and gilt decorations.

Very good. The otherwise fine blade shows some mild spotting and handling marks, with the etching faded but still legible and the hilt showing a brown patina in the lower areas. A few light scuffs are visible on the sheath, with the frog stud lost and some mild dings and verdigris on the fittings.
