Its wooden grip is cracked and is missing its leather wrapping. Accompanied by a leather scabbard that is 32" in length and in as found condition, 2" steel throat with a stud and two 3/4" leather straps, one with a ring for suspension. CONDITION: Good as described, with all metal surfaces having a vintage nickel plated coating that is deteriorating at various places. REFERENCE: "Battle Weapons of the American Revolution", George C.
