What a rare piece! This is the only one I know of! This is the second time I've owned this piece so I will just use my old description:
"Don't know who is buying up all the transitionals but I just can't find them anymore! Here's a good example of one that just arrived out of an old collection. Blade shows some traces of crossgrain. It's got some gray, and IMHO someone has lightly cleaned the blade to improve this some. They did a good job. Motto is perfect! The blade rates an Exc+. Scabbard is a nice one with 97%+ of original paint. Scabbard body is dent-free. The fittings show no wear, the ball is perfect. The fittings are nickel plated. all four screws are there, I'm going to play it safe and call the bottom two replacements. Nice light hardwood handle displays good grain. There are three hits to the top back. No chips or cracks. Aluminum eagle is perfectly fit with no oxidizing. Roundel retains 100% of enamel. The handle shoulders and radii nicely fit the nickel plated crossguards. The crossguards show some thinning but that's it. Blade is perfectly set into the crossguard. This is a fine example. Overall Exc++"
A rare one!
