Arms, Armor & Militaria

Very good. Blade a mostly dull pewter patina retaining most of the etched pattern with some thinning and fading to the etching. Only the first line of the dry needle etched maker's mark is partially legible. Hilt with much of the gilt finish and the twisted silver wire in place. Scabbard about good to very good. Leather complete with moderate crazing and some finish loss and showing three major creases that are weak, one between the throat and middle mount and the other two between the middle mount and the drag. Brass mounts with some traces of gilt finish.
