This dagger has been untouched, uncleaned and left in the exact condition it was found right out of the woodwork. Has a dark toning to the all fittings which really proves it has been tucked away for years. Blade is minty as well and shows all cross grain and a clean struck makers mark. Grip shows no damage and the RLB starburst has only a few minor scratches. At some point the original owner scratched his initials of LE on the back of the cross guard giving it a bit of personalization. Scabbard leather is clean with hardly any wear at all. Fine example in a condition that you rarely see.
