Rating Definition:

1) Fine. 2) Good with some heavy corner and edge wear and some loose material. The drawings are all very good with some yellowing on the edges. 3) Very good plus. 4) Very good with some very minor pitting and discoloration on the blade and there are a few minor dings in the handle. 5) Very good. The silver fittings have dulled with age. The blade is bright and shows some normal scratching from removal from the scabbard. The scabbard leather wrap is beginning to come loose at the top approximately 8 inches and is beginning to separate in other areas. There are also a few scuffs. The hanger shows some heavy wear.
