This is what I believe to be a fraternal sword based on the m1860 US staff and field officers sword. It was manufactured by the MC Lilley sword smiths and probably dates to the late 1800 - the early 1900\'s. I have researched what organization it may be from but came up empty. It has the stags head on the cross guard, perhaps a hunting fraternity? It bears the name J? D Fleming on the blade. It is in good shape overall. The leather wrap is missing on the upper third of the grip. The brass has a nice patina to it. The scabbard is in very nice shape and has a hanger attached, the nickel plating is nice and only shows moderate wear. The sword measures approximately 33 1/2 inches the scabbard is about 29 inches. This is a great piece for a hunter or a great addition to anyone\'s collection, I have owned it for years and I have left it exactly as I found it. Please ask any questions you may have BEFORE offerding. USA SHIPPING ONLY on this item.
