Condition Report

The spring catch that secures the from the small fork is missing

Some very small scratches to the glass on the dirk.

The end can of the scabbard is loose and shows slight compression of the leather covering, possibly due to being dropped?

Some dark patches of historic rust on all elements to some degree.

See images for clarification.
