  • Description:

    AN excellent example of the 1845 Victorian infantry officers sword.  Thisd example shows an excellent 321/2" blade showing the Victorian crown.  This example was built per 1854 as it retains the hinged flap on the guard.  The left side of the blade shows the maker/retailer name London.  The blade has been polished in the past but shows the orginal markings.  The guard is brass but plated for an owner at a later date.  The grip shows an excellent grip and bindings.  The sword comes with it'sleather scaabbard.  This piece was acquired in rural Nova Scotia and was probably a sword carried by an officer in the Nova Scotia militia or in one of the later units from there.  A nice clean example that appears to have seen many years of service.
