The scabbard is in Fair - Good condition, considering its age and history. The frog restraining bar is intact and functional. The metal body has scattered light erosion and oxidation. Most of the finish has worn off. There are no visible markings on the scabbard. The leather frog is in Good - Very Good condition, considering its age and history. The loop is technically still usable, but the leather has dried out and we recommend NOT using it to keep it preserved. There are no rips or tears, but it has dried out a little bit and borderline brittle. There are wrinkles and a few light cracks. The stitching is sewn tightly. The swivel is securely attached and rotates. Most of the finish still remains. The swivel is marked "US".
