There are markings on both sides of the blade.
Scabbard is in fair condition showing signs of wear. There are a few small dings, scratches and some fair amount of rust showing. There is a pin crack on the spine of the scabbard but doesn't effect the function. Everything is held together tightly. There is an inspector marking on the tip.
