Slim guard of graceful design, formed by a ring from which a quillon extends to the pommel. Handle covered with smooth wire, topped by a crown-shaped pommel. Shell especially pierced and chiseled around its perimeter with garlands of oak and olive. In the center, a perfect shield of Spain and a finely worked Golden Fleece stand out, both flanked by two stern lions in an arrogant rampant position.
Blade
Triangular section, manufactured in Solingen and decorated with floral motifs in gold.
Sheath
Made of black leather with a throat and tip, both in gilded brass and decorated with whimsical leaves and scrolls.
Inscription
None visible
Description
Very unique small sword commissioned for high-ranking civil or military figures during presentation functions or on formal occasions. Its owner could belong to royalty or be closely associated with it, given the significant presence of the Golden Fleece in its chiseled front, which indicates that they must have been honored with this distinction, a privilege of the king.
