Good. Blade with moderate oxidation and some light surface rust that has obscured much of the etched USMC banner and maker's marks. Hilt is free of cracks or deterioration, blade is full-length and unsharpened. Scabbard is about very good, showing some wear, moderate crazing and some surface finish loss. Closure strap remains intact and functional, belt hanging wire intact as well. Knife does not fully seat in the scabbard due to the added collar device at the scabbard tip.

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.
