    Description

    Please look at all photos closely. You will receive items in photos. NO returns. If you have questions or want more photos ask.
    The handle is loose. Due to its age I am reluctant to try and
    tighten
    it.  The Eagle head is facing left which indicates it was made before 1941. Age has caused the leather on the scabbard to shrink some causing the hilt to sit about approx 1/4 inch above the throat when the sword is sheathed. It appears that at some point in time the scabbard has had some repairs.
    Made by Nat. Miller Brooklyn, NY.
    Following is inscribed
    on the blade
    : W.S.BURNS
    Following is inscribed
    on scabbard
    : W S Burns, Ensign USN.
    Presented by First Div. USS Kentucky.
    The USS Kentucky (BB-6)
