condition grade: excellent condition, standing as an elite, investment-grade example of a late 19th-century military blade. condition issues: the bright steel blade exhibits only faint, superficial handling scuffs, while the period leather scabbard shows light surface storage wear. dimensions: the knife features a substantial 11. 54-inch single-edged spear blade, contributing to an impressive overall length of approximately 16. 75 inches. pertinent markings & features: the face of the blade is proudly decorated with a remarkably sharp, fully complete acid-etched panel reading "hospital corps. / u.S. Army. " inside an ornate border frame. completeness: this historic lot is strictly complete, retaining its original eight-groove turned wood handle, bright nickel-plated crossguard, and its authentic, brass-mounted rock island arsenal leather military scabbard. historical background: commissioned late in the 19th century to supply the army's expanding field sanitation teams, this short-lived pattern represents a rare and fascinating chapter of frontier-era u.S. Military medical history.
