Code: 10630
A good example of the British 1853 Pattern Universal Cavalry Troopers Sword.
As this example doesn't bear a makers marking, or any British acceptance stamps, it is possibly an export blade for the American Civil War.
The knuckle bow is engraved with a regimental marking "S.N.D. 29". It seems likely to have served with a Dragoon unit, although which one is unknown to me.
Blade length 34.5 inches.
Blade in good condition, a shallow but noticable edge knick one third of the way down the cutting edge.
Strictly over 18's only.
