Good. Blade is primarily bright with some small bites and a single notch along the blade. A gray patina is forming near the tip, and the blade shows rough polishing marks from multiple efforts at sharpening. All brass components are tarnished, and the grip shows some light dents. Brown patina has formed over the hilt bolts with the texturing worn down on the latch. Leather finger ring shows cracking and flaking overall. Scabbard has assorted handling mars, wear, and scuffs overall, along with patches of patina and oxidation near the drag. Shallow number on the scabbard indicates it was likely buffed at some point.
