I owned one a while back. They have a nice chunky grip that fits beautifully. Very nice eagle also. Nice heavy nickel crossguards. Excellent fit and finish overall. Mine had a painted scabbard, and with solid nickel fittings. Only fault with mine was that someone had heavily buffed the blade to get rid of the grey. Looked nice, but unfortunately was too "enhanced" for my taste. Crossguard was stamped "I" also, and looked proper. Such a shame the blade was buffed, I would have loved to keep it otherwise. Will post pics if I can manage to dig some up.
