Thank you Carlos and Charles.

The condition is maybe good like this because it was a status/dress bolo, you can see clearly signs of very good age but not from daily use, the blade was never sanded after manufacture. So I cleaned the blade like described in up. You still can see the original finish on the blade surface.

Regards,
Detlef
