Description, scan 2: A heavily corroded iron weapon, photographed upright against a pale grey background on a card with a cream border. A knobbed pommel sits at the top, above a narrow hilt section and a broad blade that tapers to a point at the bottom. The rough, crusted surface hides most detail, though faint lines run along the blade.
