I look at this and just picture it sitting in a Vet's living room for 50 years as he smoked his days away. The plated blade on this one some kids used to play "swords" with leaving lots of wee edge nicks, scuffs and some age. I say that and it's bright. The SMF seated King etched maker mark is beautifully executed! It retains its original blue pebbled buffer pad. The steel based, blue, pebbled leather covered scabbard looks great! 100% leather coverage remains intact! There are minor pressure marks and scuffs. The solid nickel fittings show wonderful age patina and match the hilt in color and wear. The solid nickel chain is in excellent condition. It has 9 upper ringlets and 12 lower, ending at a well working clip! The solid nickel hilt looks great! All four separately inserted brass sun wheel swastikas are beautiful! The wood based, blue leather grip has aged nicely with oil from people hands. It retains its triple wire wrap. The original loop dated 1939 is included. If you can forgive the blade you found a bargain early SMF example!
