Condition: Sharp, smooth & fairly straight, with barely perciptible ripples near the tip. Rust scraped off with a sharp chisel; the scratches are from an earlier cleaning with an inappropriate tool. No trace of any factory etch can be discerned.

The apple handle has somewhat worn horns but no cracks or chips; the carving is elaborate & in good condition. An owner's crudely incised initials are on the back side of the handle.
