Indeed I do! It belonged to my great-great-great grandfather. I do not remember, off the top of my head, what the specifics were of what unit he served with, but I do have his discharge paper so I could look it up. It's stored away somewhere at the moment.
I did try taking some shots of it unscabbered, but they didn't turn out very well. Unfortunately, no well-aged hands readily available to hold it...nice idea, though!

Do you know the history on the sword? I would like to see a photo of it unscabberded in a strong well aged hand.
