About this work
The blade splits at the top into a long narrow triangular blade and a sideways curved hook. Approximately halfway along the blade (on the other side of the hook) a horizontal point. At the bottom, on both sides, two small, pointed projections. On the blade an engraving with a depiction of a soldier and on the reverse side a bowman.
