The steel has an overall bright pewter gray patina with a few small spots of plum-brown freckling starting to appear, and a few nicks along the edge of the foible. The ricasso is marked "E&F HÖRSTER / SOLINGEN" on the obverse, with the serial number (3676) and date (1901) opposite. The hilt has a pierced steel guard with single forward-swept quillon, leather finger loop, and dove head pommel with thumbprint backstrap. The wooden grip retains traces of the original leather here and there, but the wire wrap is no longer present. The steel scabbard is in good shape, with some scattered specks of dark freckling, and some dents along the body. The sword rates good-very good condition overall.
