Here we have a decent example. The grip consists of a bakelite. The grip is triple wire wrapped in brass with nice tight wires. The plated 34" blade is the standard shape with a long fuller or groove. The blade has some age and a false temperline with a few naul catchers. The scabbard has a few small dents towards the tip, very hard to picture. The scabbard is the standard chrome/nickel plated with a suspension ring. The gilt hilt shows wear but lots of detail remains.
