*Condition*

Overall the sword and the scabbard are in good condition. The edging on the sword is still very prominent and displays great detail. The fish skin grip is well preserved. The leather scabbard is sturdy and holds the sword well.  There is pitting on the mid-section of the blade on both sides. The nickel plated hand guard also has pitting.  Please refer to the images as a part of our condition report.
