These were imported by American military outfitters and dealers during the Civil War to fill the increased demand for edged weapons during the war.

The blade is near mint with nice etching depicting the American Eagle, large US and various military motifs. The scabbard is fine with a dark patina and one small dent about 3/4 of the down. I nice example widely used during the American Civil War..
