The specific manufacturer is unknown. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps on the ricasso. The base of the blade does feature an acid-etched banner with a personalized monogram that appears to read "S H T" (this is my best assumption of the engraving). While it features an 8-pointed Maltese Cross characteristic of 19th-century European court swords or fraternal ceremonial pieces, I want it to be known that I do not actually know its exact origin, and this is strictly my best assumption without formal appraisal expertise. Materials: Grip: Carved Mother-of-Pearl. Guard: Pierced brass shell guard with remnants of a gold-gilt wash in the deep recesses. Blade: Steel. It is an unsharpened, hollow-ground tri-blade (triangular profile) designed purely for ceremonial use. Scabbard: Steel body with a brass drag (chape) at the tip. Condition: The item is in antique condition with historical wear. The mother-of-pearl grip is intact, and the intricate brass guard is structurally sound. The accompanying metal scabbard shows heavy surface oxidation and a dark patina commensurate with its age, though the brass drag remains firmly attached. Notable Condition Flaw: The steel blade appears to have been improperly cleaned or polished with an abrasive pad (such as Scotch-Brite or sandpaper) by a previous owner at some point in its history, which has altered the blade's original historical patina.

Blade Length: Approximately 30 1/8 inches.Overall Length: Approximately 36 inches
