Description:

Measuring 16 inches overall, with an 11 1/2 inch single edge spear point blade, marked "COLLINS & CO/HARTFORD" on the left side, brass dual ball quillion guard, cupped brass pommel cap, and a ribbed leather washer grip. With a brown leather holster fitted with a brass tip. A similar knife is identified on the bottom of page 19 of "U.S. Military Knives Book II" by M.H. Cole.

Rating Definition:

Good. The blade shows signs of active use, with well-aged sharpening marks and a few nicks along the edge, as well as some mild pitting concentrated near the base. The brass shows a well-aged patina with some dents. The sheath is fair, with cracks, lost stitching, a dent in the tip and an absent suspension tab.
