The tip is intact and comes to a semi-sharp straight point. The finish is in the white. The left ricasso is marked "S.A." over a flaming bomb that is over "1911". The right ricasso is marked "US / 6941". There is an "H / H" on both grip panels. We are not sure what that represents. The metal / leather scabbard is in Very Good - Very Good Plus condition, considering its age. The metal locket has light handling marks and scuffs. It has started to oxidize and turn colors.
