Grip of oval section, riveted in the middle, bound with twisted iron/steel wire and finished with a steel collar top and bottom. Guards, of flat diamond section, rather broad, consist of forward and rear quillons, vertically recurved widening towards spear-shaped tips. Elaborated cusped ecusson; outside ring-guard which springs from the root of the forward quillon and crosses diagonally across the ecusson and ricasso, to meet the lower end of the rear side branch. From the lower end of the outside branch, a short peg-guard juts forward and curls slightly upward. The diagonal ring-guard widens at midpoint to an elongated diamond shape, nicked at the top and bottom with a small boss in the centre. There is a strongly marked and elegantly formed ecusson. Long, tapering blade of flat hexagonal section, with a stout ricasso rather longer than the depth of the branches, with a narrow fuller running through the middle of it to extend 27.9 cm (11") down the blade. There is a trace of a mark at the lower end of the fuller; and another on each side of the ricasso. title: sword NOTES ----- type: history note value: Unknown before testator, 'Abbotsford', Downs Road, St Helen's Park, Hastings, Sussex LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: J.S.
