The scabbard shown here is of the 1863 pattern fixed by eight copper rivets, 4 of which are located on the frog and 4 on the scabbard’s throat. This pattern of 8 copper rivets, which superseded the previous design of 2-rivets, was adopted in 1863 and entered circulation in 1864.

Outer surface of the scabbard and frog are supple with overall light crazing. Brass tip is in place and all pins are present.  All stitching is tight and secure.  The body is free of creases and breaks, and maintains excellent integrity.  The outer face of the loop frog is faintly stamped with two ovals, and only the partial text within one remains legible.  Slight material loss is noted near the throat and top of the frog loop.

Overall, a highly displayable and collectable example of the Pattern ’63.  [jet] [ph:L]
