Surely saw Civil war service as the majority of troops on both sides at the outbreak were militia. Superior quality example of the pattern (Peterson #11) from the famed Barnyak collection. Well detailed fire gilt hilt with elegantly swelled reeded bone grip (small tar smudge easily removed). One or two speckles of original gold surface. 27 1/4” d.e. blade with a bright gray patina. Brass mounted leather covered scabbard.  Leather mostly gone with the steel liner remaining. Frank Barnyak was a California gun show promoter who constantly upgraded his collection with the best quality and rare examples.
