The ricasso is marked with a "B M" inside a bow with an arrow, standing for J. The grip and guard are a little loose, missing 95% of the leather wrap and all of the twisted wire, the guard is also a bit deformed. The blade is not sharpened, it does have several light dings on the blade edge towards the lower half, and has dark age spots scattered throughout. The scabbard is solid, darkened in color with a light surface rust, it has 4 dings (2 look to be anti-rattle dings right under the lower hanger mount), the drag has been stamped with what appears to be P. The leather washer is mostly complete.
Length of the blade is 35 1/8" (1 1/16" wide and 5/16" thick), the sword is 41 1/8", and in the scabbard it is 41 7/8. Check out my other Civil War Items!
