Condition:
The sword is in good condition considering its age. Grip, pommel and guard are all in good shape, but slightly tarnished and some minor dings and light rust. There are a few small nicks and very minor amount of rust, but no pitting on the blade's edge. There are also scratches on each side of the sword. Finish mostly looks good overall on the blade and tip looks sharp. There are markings on both sides of the blade and on right side of guard.
Scabbard is in poor condition showing signs of heavy wear. There is a small ding towards the bottom, lots of rust and pitting showing. Everything is held together tightly. Rings rotate freely. There are no markings that we can see. Please see our photographs for a better understanding of the contents and its condition.
