The original finish was in the white. There are no visible markings. The metal / leather scabbard is in Good - Very Good condition. It would have got a higher rating but the belt hoop is pretty worn. It is securely fastened to the body but the leather is brittle and starting to crack. The top of the belt loop is worn thin and should NOT be used, it will more than likely tear. The metal locket has impact marks, scrapes and finish loss along the leading edges. It has turned to a darker patina color. Both the metal locket and chape are securely attached to the leather body. The body has no rips or tears and the stitching is sewn tightly. However, the leather has dried out and there is some scattered light cracking. There are also some light draglines and the leading edges have scrapes. The rivets are securely fastened. Most of the original finish is intact. There are no visible manufacturer markings, but the outer face has an ornate tooled design.
