Item has seen very little use if any. All metal surfaces are parkerized. The blade is in excellent condition exhibiting just the lightest wear from being drawn in and out of the scabbard. There are no nicks in the blade. The underside of the guard is stamped “US M7” above the blade and “IMPERIAL” below it. Finely checkered grips are in excellent condition. Green plastic scabbard is in matching excellent condition. Metal throat is stamped “USM8A1” and below that are the initials “T.W.B.” Green web frog and belt attachment is in good condition as well. Black snap and tab ends show just a little wear.
