Nice textbook Type 2 chain Mod.�36.
As good as 100% protection laquer over the blueing of the scabbard. Nearly no runner marks (what you see are some traces of the oil). As good as 100% plating on all fittings and a flawless grip. And the best is the navy like wrapped portepee which without any doubt was worn during the period like the certain traces on grip and portepee do tell us. Never saw one before and again. Pictured in one Wink of the major reference books.

"Never look for sqare eggs" as a late owner of an original FHH-dagger used to say.
