The blade was slightly bent and there were three small nicks spanning a half of an inch at the bend implying an impact that damaged the blade.  I think it could be restored, but I doubt the owner can invest in the effort. The tsuba had a dragon detail.  The saya had a deep black pebbly textured laquer that had smooth maple leafs artfully pressed into the surface.  At one time it had been beautiful, but is peeling now and missing from a quarter of the saya. The ito was intact and the tsuka was sound.

 

Thanks in advance for the skill and talent here.  It is very much appreciated.
