Real or Faux? Need help identifying this sword!

[ahan4123]

Greetings!

I have recently acquired this sword and would like your help identifying it. Based on my research I believe it's a M1860 staff and field sword. One thing that throws me off is the frog stud instead of the rings on the scabbard. Any input would be great! This is my first acquisition and ever since, I have been fascinated with civil war relics and stories.

Thank you!

You may find a retailers name at the base of the blade. Ostensibly a late m1960 staff officer sword but with leather vs sharkskin for the grip, possibly cadet, nco, musician use. You have the better vantage point to transcribe what is stamped in the guard.

An old article but you get the idea.
