Crossguard ending in rings with deeply hollowed-out centres, characteristic of the lighter-weight swords intended for the Fire Brigade. Straight blade, double-edged with a central ridge, featuring a light grey patina and traces of oxidation in places. Blackened leather scabbard with a central back seam and two brass fittings; the pommel features a copper-plated brass shield-shaped button. 54.3 cm (Blade 38.7 cm).
