Fine. Blade retains a strong blue with some streaks and flecking, followed by light pitting spots of gray patina along bright blade. Edge remains unsharpened with few scattered bites. Silver plating worn down on the flats with tarnish on extant silver. Some stains to the left side of mother of pearl grips, and scattered light scratches overall. Scabbard finish flaking and abraded but retains a significant amount of the silver showing tarnish overall.
