Blade heavily corroded, handle brittle and with numerous losses, requires restoration.

Cf. for a similar handle inlaid with mother-of-pearl and wood from the Klingenmuseum Solingen: Gertrud Benker. Alte Bestecke, ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Tischkultur. Munich, 1978, p. 63, fig. 69. The base of the blade also bears a similar mark, consisting of a medallion with a laurel wreath and an orb as well as a crown.
