Condition
Very good overall. The ivory handle shows minor natural age lines and subtle surface wear consistent with age but retains an attractive, smooth patina. The silver metal collar is clean with mild tarnish and a few small handling marks. The hardwood shaft is straight and sound, with light surface scuffs from normal use. The metal ferrule is secure and shows expected wear at the tip. No apparent repairs or losses.
