Properly pinned to the obverse grip is the RLB silver-plated sunburst showing minor surface wear to plating but, no damage to the blue enamel RLB logo-over-swastika. Plated blade grades EX showing surface wear/runner marks, gray shadowing/spotting and three tiny nicks to the center left cutting edge, and is complete with black leather buffer pad. Dent-free steel scabbard retains approximately 98% of the black enamel, with surface scratches but, no major loss of factory finish.
