The pommel is of carved and polished horn.Original dark red paint on the wooden scabbard body, of which nearly 100% remains. Being made of two sections, the scabbard has nowseparated, but should be an easy fix. Decorative metal cover over the scabbard body loop.There is a an opening for the small knife to slide into the scabbard body, about an inch and a half of that is missing. The side knife has a very ornategrip of darkened copper with gilt decoration.
