Dark steel patina finish to the guard and locking bar, with a dark brass patina finish to the grip. The grip exhibits a 3-step modification to the top of the spine, one of the varieties done by the Royal Bavarian Army to fit the 1871 rifle.Steel mounted, black leather bodied scabbard with a standing loop favored by the Bavarians. The stitching is sound and the blade fits the scabbard properly.
