This arrived a few weeks ago:

Engraved brass-over-wood hilt, some brass inlay on the blade, scabbard is hammered German silver over wood in generally good shape.

When it arrived, the tip of the blade had been broken off, with an estimated 1/8" missing (you can see a slight bend towards the tip in the overhead shot). I reshaped the tip enough to hide the worst of the damage; I decided not to go for the needle-sharp tip many of these had, just working it enough so that the damage doesn't leap out at you.
