The sword has a broad double-edged blade cut with a series of narrow fullers both on each side and over the ricasso; the latter is also stamped with three small marks on both sides. The iron hilt is fashioned in the Landsknecht style, with moulded and bold spirally fluted S-shaped guard, matching plummet-shaped pommel, and moulded leather-covered grip.
