The piece comes with an exceptionally well preserved blade which developed a nice patina.
The brass basket is made in the French style and the wooden carved grip is copper wired.
The blade bears a maker’s mark but we were not able to identify it.
Most probably this piece belonged to a young officer, most probably a midshipman.
*Dimensions*
The blade is 58 cm long with an overall length of the piece of 71 cm.
*Condition*
There are some minor dents on the edge, as expected for such an old piece.
