The 32 inch curved blade is in good condition but has been cleaned of it’s etching (some feint remains exist under the langets). Blade firm in the hilt. The hilt / guard is in good condition; the diagonal cross work hardwood grip also good. Sword knot frayed, faded and aged but sound. The brass scabbard has a slight edge split, plus a few dents and dings but is still good. The sword sheathes and draws fairly well with care.
