Description

A long, narrow metal blade tapers to a point at its lower end and has a raised central ridge running down its length. At the top, a short, stubby tang ends the blade. The heavily corroded surface is pitted and crusty, and the object is shown upright on a pale grey card mount with a handwritten number label below.
