Measuring 38 inches overall, this sword is fitted with a 33 inch long blade, straight with a hexagonal cross section, decorated on the lower half with etched scrollwork with niter blue fields, gold washed panels, and "In/Treue/Fest" on the right side. No maker's marks are present on the ricasso. The hilt is brass, with a seated lion flanked by sculpted lion heads on the languet, raised floral scroll designs, a crown in a sunburst on the right grip panel, and a lion head pommel. The scabbard is black leather with brass fittings.

Very good. The blade shows areas of pitting and a gray patina overall, with a few traces of original niter blue, wear on the etching, and over 80% of the gold. The hilt shows some light wear, with some minor dents and good detail in the decoration. The scabbard shows some lost stitching, scuffing, and evidence of glue repair around the throat.
