The sword you are viewing has me scratching my head. I know the hilt is definitely from a U.S. Army Officer's Dress Sword, but I don't have a clue about the blade. This sword was found in an estate sale and although is is an eye catching item, I am certain the blade is not U.S. Military. This sword is solid, tight and sharp with the following specifications: Overall length -- 25-1/2 inches; Length of the blade -- 19-3/4 inches; Width of blade at widest point -- 1-1/2 inches and the blade material is carbon steel. This is an interesting sword that needs a scabbard. It is being sold "as is" since I feel the blade is not original with the hilt. In other words, it is one of a kind. Thanks for your interest -- no reserve.
