Overall appears to be in reasonable condition with general wear to the patinated surface as you would expect.
We cannot see any damage to the dagger on the hilt or anywhere, there is a chain hanging off the dagger and the other side of the scabbard also has a small hole which would have had a chain attached to the warriors belt, this is missing, but there is no real damage.
