The blade is engraved with the launching details (see photograph).
Most attractive cast silver handle in the art nouveau style. I
Excellent condition.
The item is approx. 7.25 inches (18.5cm) long.
it weighs a substantial 43.9 grams.
Hallmarked to the blade with Dutch sword mark for 835 standard and makers mark B below a crown, believe that this could be earlier than 1966 and engraved later because of the crown and B mark which was used from 1807 to1810. The sword mark does date to the time of the ship launch.
it is in really excellent vintage condition
