Arms, Armor and Militaria Online

1.) Good. Blade is pitted with some bites along the edge, a mottled brown patina, and some wastage and pitting. Hilt is a deep brown color overall with much of the gilt design removed. Blade appears to have been cleaned and polished.

2.) Good. Blade has some nicks along the edge, along with some pitting scattered along the edges and hilt. Silver finish remains strong on the lames and quillons but has been removed on the remainder of the hilt. Pommel is loose, and the seams of the hilt are opening up, suggesting some rust to the tang, or resizing at some point.

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.
