Model 1853/79 officer's cord used by the French military police and gendarmerie. The blade is straight, one-sided ground with a central point, made of steel with visible traces of corrosion and partially removed surface stains.

The handle is decorated with a relief pattern with leaf motifs, ending with a distinctive bulbous head. The crossbar of the guard is curved on one side, transitioning into a simple arc-shaped basket that protects the user's hand. The scabbard is steel, with visible signs of age and corrosion.
