Looks OK to me. Robust and fit for purpose! The edge looks like it was sharpened which is a good sign. I think the bottom nails came off the langets which left the bottom end flapping, so rather than...

Nice sword! I believe it’s a customised dress sword for an Austro-Hungarian cavalry officer. The pommel cap has the owner’s monogram and the basket features S:t George and the dragon. Other baskets...
