Description: | Two swords in a single scabbard. Each sword has a heavy, single-edged and wedge-sectioned blade, tapering from guard to point. Resembling a mid-late 19th century bayonet blade. The hilt and quillion are a single piece of curved steel resembling in shape a 'stirrup' hilt. The grip is wood, and curved on one side. The peculiarity of these weapons is that each is the mirror of the other, and are shaped as though a single, thick-bladed weapon had been sawn through longitudinally. The scabbard is made of leather.
