Yeah, definitely. The scabbard was a large part of why I jumped on it. It does seem to be missing the locket though (see attached image or this one). Perhaps I'll run into one of those at some point.

I'm not great at recognizing materials and I haven't done any acid tests but both the grip wire and the ferrules/spacers look like silver to me and they are not magnetic, so my guess would be solid rather than plated.
