Very nice smooth dark patina, just two tiny nicks. Distinctive heavy Kenansville guard and plain pommel cap with casting flaws and rather crude finish, also a very desirable dark untouched color. The grip is obviously an old replacement made in two halves and then glued together. Readily restorable by a skilled craftsman to its original form.

All brass with pleasing chocolate brown color.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
