Edged Weapons Auction (Closed #473693)

Exterior shows uniform and very minor wear with 90% or better of the early silver finish undisturbed.  A VERY VERY small impression on the lower area of the fitting - you can't really even see it - only feel it.  Grip features early "wide spacing" type grip which is perfect.  Reverse of cross guard shows some wear to the finish, probably from wear during the period, brushing up against a uniform.  blade shows 100% original factory cross grain, no sharpening, a perfect tip, and some minor corrosion but no active rust, pitting - this would clean to virtually perfect.
