My latest piece. I bought this as it was reletively affordable and looks good. Wester & Co so not later than 1883. Blade has seen some sort of use being rather sharp with a few nicks on the edge but clean and in good condition. I said affordable but the handle and the scabbard had been neglected some what and was way more rusty than I excpected. I know these are not that hard to take apart to refurbish however I just want to remove the rust and let the age show. I can say that I reached the very bottom of the elbow grease bottle and there was not another bottle to be had. Quit pleased with it now. Should of taken before and after photo. The pitting is acceptable to my mined. Marked W&Co and box with a / in it.
