I purchased this new about 40 years ago. It was displayed in the alcove. Now that the children have left home, it's just my wife and me, and we're tidying up the house. The item is clean considering its age. It's just a hobby item, but if anyone is interested, please feel free to contact me. The scabbard has, understandably, taken on a darker color. The tip of the small knife shows some slight deterioration upon close inspection.
