Flat shield-shaped pommel, with a very prominent barrel-shaped button. Knuckle-guard, loop-guard, three outside ring-guards, and very long straight quillons, all of circular section. Back-guards of three elements. The forward quillon is badly bent. The quillons and knuckle-guards widen at the tips and the ring-guards swell at midpoint. Strong shield-shaped ecusson. The entire hilt is decorated with vaguely scrolling, floriate patterns rather roughly incised, in the style and manner of the Swedish so-called 'Sinclair' sword-hilts. Rather long grip of oval section bound with steel wire of alternating double strands of fine plain wire and thicker twisted wire. Long blade of flat hexagonal section (much worn) with a stout ricasso, and short fullers on each side edged with incised lines. Illegible marks, an ecusson engraved with a crown. The crowns are visible, but no trace remains of what was once within the ecussons. In the fullers the name PIETRO HERNANDES.
