Condition
Very good overall. The ivory handle shows minor natural age lines and slight mellowing of color consistent with age but remains well-carved and intact. The repoussé silver collar is secure. The hardwood shaft retains a rich polish with only minor scuffs, and the metal ferrule is intact. No apparent restorations.
