Measuring 14 3/8 inches overall, the 8 3/4 inch long drop point blade features the Barnes trademark of a snake eating it's own tail over "DURATION" on the left ricasso, along with "JOSIAH BARNES/SHEFFIELD". The hilt is of German silver construction, fitted with a pair of smooth horn grips (blank inscription shield on one side), a longhorn steer on either side of the guard, and a half-horse/half-gator on both sides of the pommel. Gold embossed brown leather sheath, missing German silver tip.

Very good. The blade is bright and polished, with mild spotting and handling marks. The edge has been brought back slightly by sharpening, the hilt shows some bending/denting of metal, and the sheath is missing tip.
