Condition report:
The knife is in excellent, likely unused condition with no visible chips or sharpening marks on the blade edge. The solid brass guard, spine, and pommel show minor areas of surface patination and tarnish consistent with age (photo 3, 7). The hardwood handle remains smooth with no visible cracks or deep impressions. The leather sheath is supple with light surface scuffs and handling marks on the front and rear faces (photo 11). The original cardboard retail box shows significant wear, including creasing to the main panels, tearing at the end flaps, and surface paper loss (photo 1, 12).
