This is an uncleaned gem.  Exterior fittings are 100% nickel silver, and retain an even grey patina throughout.  Scabbard shell is dent-free, and has 100% of the original paint to the scabbard body, with light age crazing and some corrosion in those spots.  Blade is pristine, and grades 95% or better (the photos do not do this blade justice).  100% cross graining, almost NO age, other than two or three ultra-light specs of corrosion that ONLY show up in certain light (like the light I used for my photos).  Grip is 100% perfect with not even any “pre flaking” near the cross guards.  Scabbard ball is 100% intact, and screws are completely free of damage.  This is a GEM quality piece.
