The blade on this RAD Leaders Hewer is nickel plated and is maker marked for the firm of Alcoso. The obverse of the blade features the RAD motto "Arbeit Adelt", which translates to "Work Enobles". The blade remains bright with only a few small areas of freckling. The plated cross-guard and eagle pommel retain most of their original finish with light bubbling typically seen on these leader hewers. The white trylon grip plates have taken on a light yellow patina throughout with no damage. The silver plated scabbard is made of one piece with soldered hanger clips. The silver plating is still 50% intact, which is impressive as most of the plating on the scabbards of these RAD Leader Hewers is usually none existent. CONDITION: Overall excellent. D.W.
