Well-preserved specimen.  Exterior shows almost no wear or age.  Fittings are all plated type, and have 100% plating intact.  Scabbard is anodized and retains 60% of the factory protective lacquer over 99% black finish.  Grip is perfect, eagle and rune are perfectly inset, with some ultra minor flaking near the six o-clock position of the grip rune insignia.  A tiny bit of the enamel is missing below the SS runes.  Blade is 97% - near flawless.  Screws unturned, pommel nut not marred.  This is a top shelf example.
