I'm no expert but it looks fine to me. A nice piece of history.  You can get a reproduction scabbard from the various Civil War sutlers.

 out there. You just don't seem to find loose original scabbards out there.

Thank you for the help.  It looked good to me as well...

Is there a difference between a Musicians sword and a NCO sword?

Thank you

Yes, the musicians sword doesn't have a cross guard.

Who would the AHC Proof mark on the blade and guard be?-  Archibald Ceily or A. H. Clark.  Also what does the AdA of the handle refer to?  Manufacturer mark?
