Condition Report
The ivory handle has a large chunk missing by the neck of the lion, some smaller chips and cracks and is very dirty. Wire work on grip seems intact. The lion shaped pommel is in good condition but again dirty. The pierced brass tilt has scratches and possibly had a repair and re-soldered. The hilt should have a folding guard, this is missing. Blade appears to be ok but requires a clean. The scabbard has a lot of paint loss and pitting, brass mounts requires some TLC
