There are some scratches on blade. I tried to take pics, but it is difficult because it’s so shiny. It does need a cleaning, it’s been in storage for a while. No papers or original box. It is a little loose, but an expert told me best not to try epoxy because it would just crack. This is for display only. Ask if you have any questions. I don’t know much more about it except that it is not a Toledo, I don’t see a mark.
