EL6876 - An Essex Rifles (volunteers) officer's sword. There is no etching for the retailer on the ricasso, but the proof disc is that of Benjamin Thurkle, so this sword probably dates to around 1860. No scabbard. The shagreen has a bit of loss and the grip has a little bit of movement on the tang. The end of the tang nut looks like someone has peened it to tighten the hilt. Priced accordingly and would benefit from a little restoration.
