Silver-Mounted Hanger with slender curved single-edged hollow ground blade etched and gilt against a blued ground on each face of the forte with a trophy of arms and a Classical warrior labelled \"Camilus\" above a mark in an oval, cruciform hilt with short straight quillons with lobe-shaped scrolled tips, faceted agate grip widening towards the cap-like pommel and with deep moulded ferrule at the base struck with an assay mark, and original shagreen scabbard with silver chape and moulded locket with acorn-shaped frog-hook, struck with indistinct assay marks, 39.3cm. blade.The warrior depicted on the blade is almost certainly intended to represent Marcus Furius Camillus (d.365 B.C), general and statesman, and one of the great heroes of the Roman Republic, who defeated both the Gauls and the Etruscans.
