Description

A long, narrow iron blade with a squared upper end and a short dark crossguard near the top, tapering to a point at the bottom. The surface is rough and pitted with corrosion, and fine cracks run along its length. It is shown upright on a pale card mount, with handwritten notes and a number label at the edges.
