The Two-Handed Sword of the State Guard of Julius of Brunswick-Lunüneburg features a long, straight blade with a pointed tip. The blade appears weathered and has a dull gray color. A long, black grip is wrapped with dark material. The crossguard consists of two curved quillons, each ending in a scroll-like shape resembling a dragon's head. The pommel is T-shaped and made of silver metal with an etched design. The background of the image is a gradient transitioning from black at the top to white in the center and back to gray at the edges.
