Welcome. I don't think anyone here can help you without pictures or other information about the sword. You "found" it or you bought it?

I found it and it has US
GKC
1865 and it has damage to the handle

Welcome, enjoy. GKC are the inspectors initials. As stated without more details and photos answers will be hard to come by.

Need pics to help but dated 1865 which means it was probably issued the day the war ended! Or close to it.

If you could post photos we can see just what you have found. Looking forward to seeing the sword you found.
