Ricasso stamped "BEST / ENGLISH / CUTLERY". Knife is like new with just minor storage staining and scuffing. SIZE: CONDITION: Very fine. Blade retains most of its orig polish with areas of staining, 3" unsharpened clip. Cutlery grip is excellent with matching silver/grey patina to crossguard and scabbard mounts. Accompanying scabbard is also very fine retaining much of its orig polished surface with about 80% gold embossing, better on reverse than obverse but cypher "OLD ZACK" easily seen both sides. Scabbard fits well, but is about 1" longer than blade. 51008-8 JS (2,000-3,000)
