The parts of the hilt are of iron and decorated with inlays of silver and copper wires (24 wires/cm). The wires are arranged to form a chequerboard pattern.

A group of finds (KM 18402:1–7) was discovered in 1971 under a large rock about 4.6 kilometres southeast of Hämeenlinna Castle and 1.1 kilometres southeast of the Church of Vanaja. The site is known as Peltorinne in Hämeenlinna. Inlaid sword KM 18402:1 was found along with a small knife. After this, a trial excavation was conducted, revealing some more finds. The site was destroyed by building work and it contained no definite evidence of a cemetery. Among the recovered finds a small blade fragment is also known (KM 18402:3), indicating the presence of another sword.
