The leather at the upper portion between the upper and center mount is still in excellent condition. The scabbard mounts are the steel type having a nickel-like coating. The coating is still nearly intact having only a little slight wear along the reverse center portion. These mounts have eyelets which are soldered into place with the usual carrying rings. These mounts have decorative lines which are engraved along the borders on the obverse only. The mounts are retained by a flush mount headless screw on the left side of each.
