A little bit rusty, but still solid. With the original wooden handle. Every cavalry trooper kept one of these in his saddle bag. Dug examples are commonly found at battle sites and encampments , but they are always missing the handle.
Great for your display in your growing civil war collection! Near relic condition, yet still useable as a horse brush! As the confederates / CSA didn't have the resources to manufacture such fancy tack equipment.
