No government / war office marks we can see, only “352” stamped to the spine, but everything is worn / rusted so other markings may have been there but are now lost.
The 34 1/2 inch straight plain blade has age / inert rust pitting and a steady patina but is otherwise good. Blade firm in the hilt. The bowl steel guard / hilt, like the blade, has age / inert rust pitting and a steady patina but is still sound / quite good. The black Gryphonite chequered grip is in good condition and firm. The steel scabbard also has age and inert rust pitting, plus a steady patina. The black carry bag is aged but sound. The sword sheathes and draws well.
