1827 Pattern Rifles Officer Sword

A good early Victorian 1827 pattern Rifle officers sword. 

The gothic 1827 pattern guard, smooth back strap and stepped pommel all have a plum coloured salt and pepper patina, which could be cleaned and polished if desired. The shagreen grip in very good condition, and retaining its original twistwire binding.

The single fullered 32.5 inch blade of 1845 pattern. No makers marking, only a vacant shield, indicating a sword produced for sale by a retailer. The proof slug of fleur de lys type. These features likely indicating pre 1850 manufacture.

The blade is very clean and bright, and well decorated with crossed Union Jack flags mounted on lance pennants, a strung bugle, crown and the standard foliate engraving. It has some small areas of scattered light staining which would likely be improved by a gentle polish. The hilt and blade are solid with no movement. 

Housed in its original steel scabbard with twin hanging rings.

Strictly over 18's only. Photo ID will be required before this item can be dispatched. Please send this at the time of ordering, to prevent unnecessary delay in your order being dispatched.
