Surface: approx. half dull green, half dark brown, dry surface, much pock-scarred - a few with pale green corrosion deposits within.  Whole surface appears lost leaving v. rounded features.
Other: Seemed strange to have "Surface" as a separate text box when on the card it's part of the Description section.,  I have transcribed the text as I understood it, but haven't put "(?)" where I'm unsure my transcription is correct.  In place of the three dots in a pyramid under "Condition" I've expanded to "[therefore]" - hope this is appropriate.
Description: Typology body angles rounded - poss. due to condition,  Manufacture hints of possible edge bevel about 5.5mm in from edge: plane-convex profile poss. from casting in open mould unless subsequent damage: irregular fissure extends across about half of body from one side - poss. casting flaw, or damage?,  Condition present 'squared off' blade tips come to rounded edges not dissimilar from rest of edge - [therefore] not certain whether blade tips broken off; indentation on side of butt associated with filing biting gold metal - prob. would have been symmetrical
