The two quillon slots are intact. The sharkskin grips have light scuffs, but no rips or tears. Some of the granular texture and coloring have worn thin. The single strand and double twisted strand chord is securely wrapped around the grip. All the brass coloring has started to turn a darker patina color. The blade's spine, sides and fullers have a few light scrapes. There are a couple very light nicks and dings on the blade edge and it appears to have its original factory cutting edge. The tip is intact and comes to a semi-sharp straight point. Most of the original finish is still intact with some scattered light discoloration. Both the left side blade and right side blade are marked with an etched floral pattern and "In Treue Fest". The spine is marked with the retailers store name "J.M. Pauschinger - Nurnberg". The scabbard is in Good - Very Good condition, considering its age and history. The suspension mount and ring are securely attached to the body. The ring rotates and swivels correctly.
