The sword is of Oakeshott type XIIIa, blade was probably made in Passau, on one side is a rectangular patch of off-white accretion, possibly from a previous attachment of a label to the blade, The label would appear to be a scanned and printed copy of an older label written in ball-point pen probably 20th century in date. It is of a similar length to the accretion on the blade and may be a copy of the one which could have previously been stuck to the blade.
