condition grade: very good condition, maintaining an excellent balance of clean metal finish and honest field use. condition issues: the steel blade exhibits heavy horizontal cleaning and sharpening abrasions beneath the banner, along with minor surface scuffs. 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, highly legible acid-etched panel reading "hospital corps. / u.S. Army. " inside an ornate border. completeness: this historic investment lot is highly complete, retaining its original eight-groove ribbed maple handle, intact nickel-plated guard, and its authentic, brass-mounted leather military scabbard marked with personalized soldier initials. 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.
