Confederate brass scabbard tip

Original Civil War Scabbard tip from a CS camp. Click picture for details.

Civil War bayonet scabbard tip. These tips were attached to the bottom of the leather scabbard which held the soldiers bayonet. It is made of brass and measures 3" long. The actual solid tip is slightly longer then the typical US examples, and the shape is slightly distorted. This could be the result of the different manufacturers, or it may be a Confederate example. It was recovered on private property at the White Oak Swamp Battlefield.
