8+ (Excellent): Blade shows some tarnishing, hewer shows overall light age/storage wear. Nearly all of the enamel and Bakelite remain fully intact on grip with no cracks or splits. Leather is soft and supple and nearly all of the nickel-plating details remain intact.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
