Most of them seem to be in pretty nice shape since they were rejected and not issued. Last one I sold I got about $250 for it and it was very nice.

Note the last picture shows the pommel and you can see the slot and threads. Later version were peened on the small threaded part woudl break so it was rejected by the Navy.
