Unusual 1822 Infantry Officers Sabre £850
This highly unusual British 1822 Infantry officers sabre has a George IV Cypher on the guard, dating it to between 1822 and 1830. Taken as a whole the sword is has some interesting features. The pipe back leading into a clipped point is very unusual for a British sword, possibly unique, the style was more widely popular on the continent. The Folding guard does not follow the standard pattern found in later swords, having a much more delicate and intricate design. The ferrule also has more decorated in a floral pattern, not commonly found on military swords.There are no makers marks, or engraving on the blade so I have been unable to find much more about its origins.
The sword is clean, with no pitting or rust, and it is solid in the guard with no movement.
