CONDITION REPORT: The sword is firmly fixed in its leather scabbard however there is a 1.5 cm section that we can see is engraved on both sides. The spine of the blade is inscribed J J P***. The wire grip is slightly loose but this may be due to an attempt to withdraw the sword from the scabbard. There are small indents around the metal mount of the scabbard this would seem to be where attempts have been made to prise the item open. In conclusion the sword can not be drawn from the scabbard.
Lot 1243

There are unusual marks on the ricasso which are not typical European lettering. There are no serial numbers on the scabbard. The scabbard is in generally good condition with no obvious dents, splits or repairs. The bayonet blade is a uniform colour throughout with small black spotting but nothing too detrimental. The spike bayonet is generally in good order and the interior of the scabbard is greased. There is slight wearing around the mount of the bayonet. The bayonet appears to be free from any obvious knocks, dents or splits. The mount of the bayonet is struck with the military mark. The spring mounts to both. The bayonets are in working order. The canvas rattle bag is generally in good order with no major tears or obvious losses. There are a few small patch marks and there are crease marks were it has been folded but nothing that is too detrimental in my opinion.
