Straight blade of triangular section with hollow faces, engraved at the forte with small trophies and racemes, gilded and on a background with remains of blueing, at the base signature of a Solingen manufactory. Minor signs of use and time. Silver-plated brass hilt, featuring shell-guard decorated with a Bourbon lily in relief surmounted on a shield surmounted by a lion and with a trophy of arms. Guard shaped as a lion's head and floral motifs in relief, also the pommel shaped as a lion's head. Grip with mother-of-pearl grip scales.
