The sword has an unsharpened blade of high carbon steel with etched motifs of the French Empire and the crossed cannons of the artillery corps. The hilt is of brass and the guard features the crossed cannon and flaming mortar bomb of the artillery. The grip is of leather inlaid with twisted brass wire. The scabbard is of leather with brass accents and hanging rings.
