Condition Report:
This item is in solid vintage condition with excellent character and historic patina. The wood handle shows natural grain wear and surface scuffs from age/handling but remains structurally sound. The blade sits firm at the bolster, which retains its original historic resin/amber-colored adhesive sealing the tang into the hilt. The metal cladding on the scabbard shows minor surface tarnishing, faint oxidation, and light edge alignment gaps standard for hand-made tribal pieces of this era. (Please review all high-resolution photos carefully for exact cosmetic condition).
