Original condition with no repairs or restoration. Scuff and scratches as to be expected with age. No losses to leather covering. Brass present with a few minor bends. Chin strap absent with remnants still attached below the rosettes.

Provenance; please see image of letter online. Exposed copper to the highlights and the lid thumb piece. Glass base intact. Various scuff and scratches throughout. Three dents to the lower body of the tankard. One line dent to the upper body of the tankard. Plating worn on the handle. The domed lid; the lid has a hole near the centre of the top with six evenly spaced holes to the lower curevetto mold, this is possibly where a mount had previously been fitted. Overall, a handsome example, with important provenance.

This is a saw back bayonet.
