Considering the kind of bullshit abbreviations medieval people are known for it’s not surprising.

Slender fullered Damascus steel blade, inscribed “Eisenhauer” on the obverse. Symmetrical iron bar hilt with pierced shell-guards, struck on the obverse with crown/Saxon steed, the reverse crown/“W”, fishskin grip with silver wire wrap and iron grip strip, finger loop. Iron scabbard with two movable suspension rings, attached the remains of a hanger with silver lion head buckles. Length 110 cm.
This is a stunning take on the British “Gothic” hilt which is associated with the Pattern 1822 (and 1845) Infantry Officer’s Sword and the Pattern 1827 Rifle Officer’s Sword. This sword has the a symmetrical guard as opposed to the asymmetrical guard of British “Gothic” hilts, and substitutes Hanoverian emblems of the crowned horse and the crowned W (presumably for for William IV). William was King of the United Kingdom and Hanover.
