Small Sword

Description

Artifact 01-02 is a portion of a sword, including the pommel, hand guard, a segment of the blade, and part of the scabbard and the frog. This artifact has a decidedly shoddy appearance and may be representative of the fact that many American soldiers were armed with whatever weapons could be gathered despite their condition.
