Condition:
Very good overall condition considering age. Blade with mottled gray spots and mild pitting. The Main edge shows two mild nicks from usage, and the tip is very slightly dented. The nickel silver guard and pommel show some moderate scratching and heavy patina from age. They both have some light denting along the edges. The stag horn grip shows mild scratching. One side of the grip is very slightly loose. There is a small repair spot on one side of the pommel. The leather scabbard shows some moderate edge wear on the leather. The belt strap is loose from its stitching on one side. Unsure if it's original to the knife, but it is period and fits like a glove.
