2018 Yard Sale and Flea Market Finds

[Aragorn243]

I did some very light cleaning to remove a little active rust and some fossilized cosmoline on the blade. No pitting on the blade, some slight pitting in the curve of the pommel in one area. A lot of the original paint is still on the handle. Scabbard is cracked along the weld lines on the tip and the round ball is somewhat crushed. Fair amount of paint on scabbard also but much of what is left is chalking. Unit marked and Imperial stamp on scabbard along with unit mark. Imperial stamp on top of blade and flat of blade on bayonet. Blade mark is solid but hard to see due to staining of the blade. Saw is sharp with exception of first couple of teeth which have been slowly eating the scabbard when going in.
