This near flawless example was in my collection about 20 years ago.  Lucky to have purchased it back.  It is in near flawless condition with only ultra-minor signs of age.  NO damage, no lifting, one tiny fleck of paint hardly visible (and easily concealable with some dark ink) present in the 100% original paint.  Manufacturer is Ed Wüstof.  Blade grades mint with full factory-finish.  No lifting to plated cross guards or scabbard fittings.
