Highly sought-after specimen featuring a genuine ivory grip (please check your local laws), an acid etched blade produced by Emil Voos (this is the marked example - some examples are not marked with the manufacturer trademark and are less valuable).  Exterior fittings are evenly toned, uncleaned.  Blade plating is outstanding with some light lifting near the tip in front of the etch pattern.  VERY slight peppering to the background of the etch pattern in places.  Grip is intact with no cracks, and original portepee is in place.  Scabbard is free of dents and damage.
