as on the sword here present.
This model will be used by sappers, fortress troops, telegraph operator and balloon pioneers. The sawtooth blade is not meant to inflict horrific wounds, as its appearance seems to suggest. It was designed for cutting shrubs, which were both on the line of fire and useful for camouflage of the future firing position.
The massive and heavy handle, Roman style, is made of a single piece of ribbed brass with a round pommel, it has 20 grooves and a symmetrical straight cruise, it completely covers the tang. The blade is massive of very good quality, devoid of gutters as it should be and has 28 saw teeth.
The leather scabbard has a cup / spring secured by a screw located on the back of the body. To be compatible with the scabbard holder. The yoke is fitted with a leather strap held on the trigger guard by stitching points. The milk linings are attached to the body by three rivets on the yoke and three at the end.
