Wow. The Backmark says "Frank Thomas Co" on the back. I cannot see above the eagle because of some dirt. I dug this off of Route 50 near monument drive. I used to own a condo there. It was the Battle of Chantilly. Nothing remains and it was hunted hard. I dug a bayonet there.

Wanna see it?

oh, by the way, thanks guys!
