No corrosion issues to speak of, however there are several nicks in the cutting edge from service use or backyard sword fights. US over the inspector initials CEW and date of 1862 on the obverse ricasso, on the reverse the name and city of the maker. The original leather bumper is in place at the base of the blade.

Original leather wrapped grip bound with a single strand of twisted brass wire. Attached to the guard is a good quality reproduction black leather sword knot.
