Hilt missing. 1816 model sword blade, grey with rust spots and traces of rust bloom, with two small hollows near the hilt and a long hollow towards the point, maker’s marks at the hilt “N & B & CX” on one side and stamped “PC” beneath a star (?) partially legible on the other side. 64 cm (blade 48.5 cm).
