Good. All blades have been inexpertly sharpened with the tip of the longest knife broken off, and a mottled gray patina forming. Hilts exhibit age toning with the longest blade showing a gap between the ricasso and the edge of the hilt. Scabbard shows scattered scratches and a patina to the tacks holding it together. Leather has hardened with some abrasions and crazing overall.
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.
