This sword became regulation on 3 August 1899. The sword with a 32 3/4" blade was issued to Cavalry while the one with a shorter 30 1/2" blade was issued to Infantry, Artillery and Engineer Sergeants. The serial number on the ricasso of the blade should match the one on the drag of the scabbard if I were to pay $300 for it. The sword is dated on the last photo of the guard but I cannot read it I am afraid.
