With a tapering blade double-edged towards the end and cut with three narrow fullers along the back on each side - the forte on one side stamped "Andria" and on the other "Ferara", both between incised "S" and star marks.
The hilt comprosed of an iron guard of flattened bars framing ovoidal panels and saltires pierced with triangles and circles, fore-guards, a small scrolled wrist-guard, a conical pommel, and a spirally-grooved fish skin-covered grip with the wire binding missing.
Scottish.
Date circa 1785.
