It is based on a sword carved on the tomb effigy of Sir Giles Daubeney in Westminster Abbey.

The guard and pommel are gilded bronze with gilt silver decoration, the grip is leather bound oak with gilt silver bands.

The fittings on the leather bound ash scabbard are also gilt silver with an enamelled shield set onto the throat.
