Description

British 1895 / 1897 Pattern Infantry Officer’s Sword With Etched Blade & Wood Scabbard With Leather Field Service Cover. ED 2528 - ED 2528

This is an original 1895/97 British Infantry officer’s sword. These swords were a great improvement on previous patterns with better protection to the hand through its ¾ basket hilt (see page 179 of World Swords by Withers & pages 165-167 of Swords of the British Army by Robson). The sword has a 32 ½” single edged blade with partial fullers. The ricasso has the ordnance acceptance ‘proof’ inlaid roundel. There are no visible manufacturer marks on this sword. Both sides of the blade have etched panels featuring foliate devices, the King’s crown & Royal Cypher ‘GRV’ (George V Rex). It has the correct ¾ bowl guard voided with foliate design and ‘King’s Crown GRV’. It has the correct fish skin grip with wire binding which is tight and intact. The sword is complete with its brass mounted wood scabbard bound with undamaged leather field service cover. The price includes UK delivery. ED 2528
