Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very good. Blade with a moderately oxidized mottled gray patina with scattered areas of surface discoloration. The very tip of the blade appears to be slightly rounded and there is some light pitting near the tip. Guard with a rich golden patina and showing scattered impact marks. Grip with much of the leather intact but the wire almost entirely missing. Scabbard heavily oxidized with some traces of the black japanning intact, mixed with a dark brown patina and moderate amounts of surface roughness. Brass mounts heavily oxidized as well.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
