Vintage U.S. Military Model 1860 Staff & Field Officers' Sword Horstmann

Description

Here is a post Civil War M1860 Sword by Horstmann.  Knife measures 33" overall with a 26.25" blade. Normal size should be 27" or 28" missing the tip area.  Blade shows a good gray patina with some darker scattered patina, etched design on blade with US on one side. Ricasso area markings:  "GERMANY" opposite side marked, "HORSTMAN PHILADELPHIA" Just below this is a faded shield with a "H" in it.  The right counter-guard "clamshell" folds in and out.  Not able to lock it in place, tends to stay in place though.  Very nice wire wrap grip with shark-skin, small sliver by pommel missing the skin, wood visible.  Good tightness on handle and grip.  3 ring Scabbard shows silver finish with scattered age patina, rust, dent free with brass ends, bands, and throat.
