    It's reading more like an advert than a request for opinions.

    The LB spike looks like it has been refurbed as I see rust pits under the finish.

    It also has what appears to be a crack or split running all the way across the top, which would pretty much make it a tent peg or paint tin opener.

    Marks on the scabbard?

    The pitting on the blade of the No7 is fairly obvious and deep.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Thank you. There is some pitting on the right side of the No.7 blade in the fuller, but it's not as deep as the pics make it seem. The biggest flaw is the deflection on the tip. The spike indeed has a split in it, which I hadn't noticed when I picked it up and the scabbard has absolutely no stamps of any kind that I could find, even with a magnifying glass. As to it sounding like an advert, short of being able to get them into someones hands, all I can do is provide pics and the best description I can.
