Hilt retains a pleasing dark mustard patina and shows some scattered marks from use. Grip shows some marks from use and minor crack from shrinkage on top of left side. Scabbard very good with only some minor scuffs and crazing to sturdy leather. Mounts retain a pleasing dark mustard patina. A very nice American sword. DMG
