Blade 1.15" wide at the ricasso. 38.75" in overall length. 6" hilt with plain cast brass two-branch guard with knuckle bow and Phrygian helmet pommel cap. Guard with simple lip on face. Grooved wooden grip covered in shagreen with 13 wraps of twisted wire. Blade etched with liberty cap in sunburst, floral themes, and crossed U.S. flags with the motto STAND BY THE UNION. Obverse ricasso, marked P.S. JUSTICE/PHILADA. Iron mounted steel scabbard with iron throat secured by a domed slotted screw and with two suspension rings.
