This is a very nice looking sword. It is the dress sword from the veteran's organization of Union veterans of the Civil War. Known as the G.A.R. or Grand Army of the Republic they were the best known of the veterans groups after the Civil War. This sword has a full-length blade and was made without the etching on the 30-1/2 inch blade. The handguard has the beautiful clam shell design with the proud "GAR" lettering with anchor on one side and the crossed rifles on the other side. The original handle is intact with nice leather remaining over 50% of the original leather material. The wire is long since gone. The sword is accompanied by a nice scabbard that has a fine untouched look. The scabbard has the original drag, mounts, rings and throat intact. This is a great displaying sword for the price.
