Description:

Measuring 37 1/4 inches overall with a 32 3/4 inch curved single fuller blade, with a niter blue field on the lower 2/3rds and gold washed patriotic etching. The hilt is fine gilt brass, with raised and sculpted decoration, showing American Eagles on the languets, oak leaf patterns on the guard, spiral ribbed grip and another American Eagle on the dove head pommel. With a gilt brass scabbard, which is decorated with fine oak leaf and patriotic engraving and a sculpted drag.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The blade shows areas of pitting and edge nicks, with traces of the original blue and over half of the gold. The hilt is very good, with cracking in the grips slightly shrunken and play in the guard. The scabbard is fine, with over half of the gilt finish, minor handling marks and dings, and good detail in the engraving.
