Partisan-Spontoon by unknown artist. A sword with a long, narrow, pointed silver blade featuring an engraved design. The blade has a central line down its length with symmetrical patterns on either side. The sword's hilt is primarily gold and silver with ornate engravings. The hilt has a flared, crescent shape at the base of the blade, tapering down to a narrower, cylindrical handle. The handle appears to have a black and gold grip. The background is a solid light gray color.
