The supremely well etched 29 5/8 inch blade is in very good condition and firm in the hilt. The hilt, very good. The ivory grip scales have lost a rosette each side, plus there is a small chip missing on one, but otherwise very good. The brass scabbard has tarnish (fairly easily restored / cleaned up if desired). The sabre / sword sheathes and draws well.
