Notes
The hilt of this sword and the silk pieces placed on its scabbard are made of silver-plated pieces that were originally covered with diamonds and rubies. Today, most jewelry is lost and replaced with fake stones. The blade is older, and the section facing it (its narrow base) bears a medallion with a simple depiction of a knight on a gold ground.
