A) Blade is curved and single edged with only a rudimentary false edge extending 10" from the point. There are two fullers: One broad one, running from the ricasso to within 10" of the point, and a shorter, narrow one at the back of the blade. The blade and hilt are not marked. The back blade is flat and wide. The grips are wood covered with leather and wound with twisted brass wire. The pommel is of the Phrygian helmet pattern, and the guard is of the half-basket type with a knuckle-bow and two branches on the obverse side, joining an oval counterguard. All the metal parts of the hilt are brass.
B) The scabbard is iron with two rings for suspension and a large asymmetrical drag. The blade, hilt, and scabbard are undecorated.Made/Created
