It is a long, two-handed sword, with a gold hilt and quillion, and is encased in a crimson velvet scabbard. (..) The quillion of the sword is formed of an elongated lion on one side, and a similarly maltreated unicorn on the other.

3. (quote-book) consists of a knuckle-bow bent in the stirrup pattern. The bow gradually expands until it makes it turn up towards the blade. At that point it swells rapidly to form a broad quillon, and a branch swings out in a full semi-circle on the obverse side, joining the quillon again at its tip above the blade. A single bar connects the branch and the quillon opposite the upper edge of the grips.

5. (senseid) Either of the two arms of a crossguard.

6. (RQ:R. F. Burton Sword)guard(nb..). This section is composed of one or more bars projecting from the hilt between tang and blade, and receiving the edge of the adversary's weapon should it happen to glance or to glide downwards. The quillons may be either straight(nb...)—that is, disposed at right angles—or curved(nb..).

Accordingly, one branch was soon curved towards the pummel so as to protect the knuckles, and in such a case, for the sake of symmetry, the other branch was turned similarly towards the point.

9. (quote-book) The quillons may exist as the only form of guard on a sword. They may be joined by a group of counterguard bars, or they may be set under a cup or shell guard. While serving mainly as a hand protection and incidentally for wrapping the fingers around to increase one's grip strength, the quillons could also, on occasion, be thrust into the face of an adversary.
