(Above) The scabbard clasp on this sword is designed to fit over the belt as opposed to being hung.

This scabbard throat still evidences remnants of the original red wool washer.

(Below) This sword has a great 1862 Civil War date.  Note the "8" in the date is missing its top.  This appears to be a common characteristic of the 1862 dated swords.  Whether this is because of the manner in which the dye was struck, or whether it was a defect... who knows?
