Looks like a nice Type "III" or Type "X" as some call it. It is the least common of the skull link varieties. It is unusual to find a Type III with that amount of burnishing left on the chain. The tang nut may be plated but the crossguards look to be solid nickel, which they typically would be. There appears to be a large clearance gap between the blade and the bottom crossguard, but that does occur in originals. The scabbard appears to be a repaint.
