There's some light patina on the pommel, but interestingly not on the cross; it could be that one is mild and the other stainless steel, but IDK.

I've shimmed the guard - not that it ever rattled with the pommel screwed on tight, but hey, might as well make sure.

There are some light scratches on the blade, AFAICT just from shifting around in the scabbard.

Also some scuffing on the scabbard, near the throat from the metal band being forced over it...

...and some small scratches on the back near the chape.

The brass plating on several of the large studs is also rubbing off. Personally, I'm tempted to just rub it all the way off, I think they'd contrast nicely with the still brassy small studs.
