Iron Hunting Sword, Fitted with a broad blade angel that forms a continuation of the blade shoulder and ends asymmetrically at the top in a widening with at the front a curling protrusion (looks like a silhouette of a bird's head with beak). Two vertical grooves run along the edges and continue along the upper end. On both sides of the rivet angel a set of horn grip plates, both fixed to the stinger by means of three rivets consisting of hollow brass tubes. At the ends bent down guard, rectangular in cross-section and thicker in the middle, namely where the blade angel must pass. Double-edged
