Rating Definition:1) Very good. The blade shows mild spotting, with a few small dings/bends in the edge concentrated near the tip, over 60% of the original niter blue/gold finish, and fine detail in the decoration. The hilt retains traces of the original silver, with a well aged patina. A gap has formed between the grip and the hilt, with some light cracks and chips. The scabbard is very good, with some light cracking and wear. 2) Good with shortened and bent blade, with wear and spotting overall. The scabbard is dented and bent.
