Arms, Armor and Militaria

Good to Very Good. Blade lightly cleaned with some scattered surface oxidation, surface roughness and some lightly scattered pinpricking. Markings mostly clear and legible, although the reverse ricasso markings are a little weak. Peen is undisturbed. Hilt with a medium golden patina. Scabard with moderate wear, flaked finish loss and crazing and with some of the stitching missing from the rear seam. Buff belt with heavy discoloration from dirt and use, with an untouched, dark bronze patina on the buckle. Belt remains functional and relatively pliable for buff leather.

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.
