Manufactured in the mid-late 1800s by the George Wostenholm firm of Sheffield, England. The Wostenholm company moved into their huge Washington Works facility, perfectly positioning them to deal with the demands of the American market during the period of western expansion. It measures 11 1/4 inches overall, with a 6 7/8 inch drop point blade. The maker's markings and trademarks are all on the left side of the blade and ricasso. It has a German silver elliptical guard and is fitted with smooth pearl grips with a German silver escutcheon on the left. The included sheath is black leather with gilt accents and German silver fitting.

Very good, the blade mostly a bright grey patina with some scattered mild pitting including along the edge and mostly clear markings. The German silver shows an attractively aged patina. The grips are also very good with some minor cracking near the pommel of the right panel. The sheath is good with tearing near the tip where the fitting is absent and moderate wear.
