Traces of decoration around the latter are too faint to be distinguishable and the ferrule is plain.

Blade is of flattened hexagonal section- with a slight shoulder- a spear point and etched decoration. There is a black leather scabbard with an ornate top locket- lower part of the scabbard missing frog attachment. The locket is decorated with a band of feathers (?)- a scallop shell and fleur-de-lys- with flower. Inscribed on the obverse is 'LABRUND' and on the reverse 'NAPOLI 1845'.
