31" spear point blade, and center fuller with etched panels of Military Motifs. Brass engraved gilt finish scabbard,. Solid brass handle engraved  with gilt finish and Knights head pommel. The blade is excellent with just a little staining near the point of the blade. The scabbard has a couple of dents near the bottom. The scabbard displays some of the thinning gilt finish. The handle is excellent with the original chain guard. The gilt is thin on the handle. Overall an excellent looking sword.
