Honorary of Musquetier with inscription: because of the Doggersbank Action; with scabbard; Doggerbank honorary saber given by Stadholder Prince Willem V in 1781 to officer Musquetier. This type of a more or less normalized honorary saber stands out because of the successful design of the hive basket: the contemporary hilt with screwed-on front bracket; the normally smooth head is now modeled as a lion's head and the processing of the marine symbol; the anchor; in one of the side brackets. Located in yellow copper; gilded. The handle is lined with shark skin and wrapped with copper wire.
