DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: The steel blade is straight, leaf-shaped and double edged, with a rounded point. The hilt comprises a figure-8 guard, angled across the centre with two notches at either side, with wings and reinforces in the form of a sword blade, attached by three rivets with brass washers. The grip is thin, swelling to mouldings at the centre, and there is a deep but narrow dish pommel. Around the junction of the wings and langets is a cusped and scalloped iron band. The hilt is covered with black paint, the blade polished bright and deeply pitted from earlier corrosion.
