A fine period accessory—quite rare—measuring 35 cm in total length with a maximum height of 7.5 cm; there is a small chip at the end of the handle and the blade is missing, but otherwise it is in good condition.
Bone-shattering wounds often led to untreatable infections; surgeons of the Grande Armée became experts at amputating severely damaged limbs to prevent gangrene. This is the type of instrument that was used for such procedures.
