Code: 12095
An early example of a George IV or William IV 1827 Pattern Royal Naval Officers sword.
This example has been rather neglected over the years, although still an impressive sword, with its wide pipebacked blade culminating in a quill point.
The hilt, of solid regulation form with full functioning folding guard with plenty of snap. Gothic decoration and cartouche with crowned, fouled anchor. Plain, faceted backstrap with finely executed lions head pommel. Ropework ferrule with loop. The grip no down to the bare wood, with no remaining binding. The blade solid in the hilt.
The 29 inch pipe back blade no longer bares any visible decoration, and has areas of dark staining, pitting, and stabalised corrosion, This could be lightly cleaned and left, or polished until the blade is bright and clean.
No Scabbard.
