Some old cracks, wear to blade; looseness to scabbard. Wire supports to scabbard. Condition note: there is a chip to the connecting collar on the scabbard, which appears to have been an old repaired break. The chip is present. The scabbard is now in three parts - the connecting collar, the top section, and the lower section.
