The top rim of the pommel has another "J.H." and an illegible mark. The grip, guard and pommel are all tight. The knuckleguard has a little bend. The grip leather is 90% complete. The twisted wire is 95% complete, the last row by the guard has been shortened. The blade is straight, unsharpened, a couple very light nicks, and has some light age spots scattered throughout.
