Good overall. The blade is polished bright, with areas of pitting, a few thin cracks on the right side near the tip, and mild dings on the edges. The guard is also cleaned bright, with a number of dings and dents, and the grip shows mild handling marks. The scabbard has been glue repaired, with scuffs and cracking overall.
