Brass hilt with eagle pommel and guard. Crossed muskets knuckle bow. Wire wrapped leather covered grip (wear to high spots). 26” double edged diamond section blade unmarked. Brass mounted scabbard lacks the tip mount and surface rusted. Good with honest evidence of use. From the famous Frank Barnyak collection.
