The saber features a 34-inch curved steel blade, a brass three-branch guard with foliate detailing, and a leather-wrapped grip bound with twisted brass wire. The steel scabbard is marked “24” near the throat. Accompanying the saber is a leather suspension rig with brass fittings, one hook stamped “F. B. & Co.,” likely indicating the rig's manufacturer.
