Curved blade with flat back marked "Manuf.re R.le de Châtellerault January 1848", counter-edged and hollow sides, engraved with the anchor. Leather sheath. Sold as is, it is nevertheless specified that the tip has been reworked. Note 1: These swords are called "potted spoons" because of the wrap-around guard resembling the shape of the ladles used on board for serving soup.
