Description:

38 1/2 inches overall, with a 33 inch blade, fitted with short single fullers, and a football-shaped panel of etching on each side, marked "WARRANTED" on the left and "J.H. RIDDELL" on the reverse. Iron basket hilt, with extensive cut-through heart patterns, round pommel and a wire wrapped rayskin grip.

Rating Definition:

Good, showing a mixed gray patina overall, with areas of spotting and a small amount of pitting. The blade bends slightly to the right, and a few minor cracks are visible on the guard. A small amount of play is detectable in the pommel, otherwise the components are solid.
