The scabbard shown here is of the 1863 pattern which contains eight copper rivets, 4 of which are located on the frog and 4 on the scabbard’s throat. This pattern of 8 copper rivet arrangements, which superseded the earlier pattern of only 2 rivets, was added in 1863 and entered circulation in 1864.

Outer surface of scabbard and frog loop are supple with overall light crazing. Brass tip in place with all pins present.  No markings/stamps are noted.  The frog loop has experienced some shrinking as shown and a punched circular hole is present at the rear face.

A good and mostly complete example of the later-war scabbard issued to US troops for their m1855 bayonets.  [cm][ph:L]
