The right side of the ricasso is stamped "U.S.N./ D.R./ 1862". The left side is stamped with standard Ames markings. Gilt brass hilt featuring a riveted partial basket on right side with four raised sections and pierced "USN" with engraved borders around each letter. The grip is wrapped with black leather and decorated with gilt brass twisted wire.
