The oval pommel top has a single screw securing it and it features an eagle perched on a wrapped-up rope surrounded by stars. The grip is a faux plastic white ray skin, that is wrapped in a decorative brass wire wrap. The scabbard body is made out of a steel base that has been covered in a black leather. There are three gilded brass fittings which feature; a drag with a triple zig-zag pattern border and a decorative sea creature to the base.
