Yes, condition. Both missing parts of the scabbard and finish of the sword itself. There had been a felt piece that seated the blade and that is why there is a gap.
The guard on this particular word is a less common casting but shared with more than one type of eagle. Earlier in the thread, someone linked one of my clipboards of images. Within those folders are thousands of images showing swords with more or less of the remains. Your sword once had brilliant blue&gilt on the blade etchings.
Very careful cleaning (I would suggest you don't touch it) would show that the very dark nature of the sword fittings themselves actually have a silver wash, vs a gold finish to the hilt.
Here is one I recently removed the dirt from and you will see the remains of the silver finish

That sword is more complete but one that never had blue&gilt etching on the blade.
I do note one example of your type in my files. I will try to attach it. That example also has a "tired" blade finish lacking the original finish.

Compare to how this example remains

This older sword shows the remains of that piece of textile missing on so many swords of those centuries.
British, American revolution period.

So, if grading your sword, I would place it as "fair". Mostly complete but "tired" with remains of finish and partial scabbard.
Anyway, I would not start scrubbing at the sword's fittings but cleaning it would be a judgement call. I don't have your sword in hand but from the pictures it does look like a silver wash that has gone dark, just as old silver plate would but the silver finish on the brass hilts wears off fairly easily. What remains under the dirt on your's may reveal more or less silver. Go very gently. In the example of before and after above, I used only a soft brush lifting dirt without polishes or even a cloth at that point.
Here is another of mine that was in progress. Burnt in a fire with soot but brilliant gilt underneath.

I would honestly suggest you not try to clean or restore your sword but use one of the sword cases one will find via a simple search ("sword case") and show it with the scabbard remains below (flip and reverse the fitting).
Good luck and persevere with the entire genealogy of the family back to the early 19th century looking for affluent officers in the past during the period of the war of 1812 and a decade on either side to be thorough.
