The spine, fullers and sides have light scrapes and scratches. There are a few small nicks and dings on the blade edge. It appears to have been sharpened at some time.

The right ricasso has proof marks. The left side quillon also has proof marks on the quillon and serial number "M 46727 / M11". It does NOT match the scabbard.
