[All this work and effort makes 20 gallons worth of broth? Of concentrated broth. Daedalus’ prow. So, this is the brisket that cooked in there, the flank that cooked in there, the tendon that cooked in there.]

The Osborn Flank Officer’s Sabre

Henry Osborn (C.1785-1808) is one of the most famous sword cutlers in Georgian Britain. He created the famous 1796 Patterns of cavalry swords, in collaboration with Major-General John Gaspard Le Marchant to create what he thought was the best sword. He partnered with John Gunby in 1808, becoming Osborn & Gunby (C.1808-1820). These sabres have an average of a 10cm curve. Used by Officer’s of the Light Cavalry and Infantry as a frock/dress/fighting sword. A 10cm curved blade is one of the most curved styles of sabre in British Regiments, being highly irregular, rare and practically unusable in fighting circumstances. These sabres were based off the famous, well-liked and popular 1796 Pattern Light Cavalry Sabre, but sized-down for infantry/dress. Also highly inspired by Shamshirs, following the 1798-1801 Egyptian Campaign, copying the Mameluke-style, being unfullered and highly curved. These have stirrup-hilts or D-guards and shamshir/fullered half-moon blades. The term ‘flank officer’ refers to the Flank Company's of Light Infantry and Grenadiers, but the term ‘flank officer’s sabre’ normally refers to a light-weight, highly curved officer’s sword of the Georgian-Period. Naval, Infantry, Cavalry, Army and Volunteer Officers etc. could all carry this type of sword via regulation. 

The 11th sword’s (L-R) scabbard is not made by Osborn but by J.S. Lowther, possibly originally had the red dot’s. The green dot fitting florals (twin tulip) only occur on steel mounts, while the red dots (3-pronged rose) only occur on brass mounts. The steel mounts could be earlier, but can’t say for now.

Stamps (bottom left) are found on the ricasso, Osborn being on the spine. The G stamp can occur once or twice on the ricasso. The bold G for Osborn/O&G and the thinner G for just Osborn and Gunby. The Osborn stamp only/tens to occur on un-etched versions, as it’s not needed when the name is etched onto the blade.

…He staggered like that with joy. He was that shocked because I was that happy. Harry had no idea what to do with that revelation, but he was sure that he couldn’t stop turning it over in his head. He saw the memory he had seen himself, with his own eyes, of Voldemort staggering, but he felt what Voldemort had. He’s never felt anything like that before. He— An arm like stone curled around his waist and drew him back to reality. Harry opened his eyes and shifted a little, unsurprised to find that the evidence of their orgasms had already vanished. Voldemort liked to do that for some reason. “Tell me what you are thinking,” Voldemort said, his forked tongue flickering directly above Harry’s face this time. “It made you happy to make me happy.” Voldemort didn’t freeze or draw away, perhaps because he already knew what Harry had felt or sensed. He looked straight at Harry and nodded. “Why, though?” “I have never felt anything like that before.” Harry swallowed. Complex layers of shifting emotions filled the Horcrux bond again, but this time, they were his own. There was pity for Voldemort, who in some ways had had a harder, blanker life than Harry had. And there was wonder, that he could affect Voldemort so deeply in that way. Voldemort certainly thought of it as Harry affecting him, anyway, not just the Horcrux in Harry’s scar. And there was a terrifying, shivery responsibility, as though he were walking about with a huge crystal ball in his hands that he couldn’t drop. I can do that to him. I can influence him like that. Before, although Harry had told his friends that maybe he would be able to influence Voldemort and make him less tyrannical, he hadn’t truly believed it. It had been something that got him out of bed in the mornings and through the days that seemed to stretch endlessly before him, without being anything more than a hook under his navel that didn’t take him anywhere, a distant goal. Now… Harry reached up and let his fingers gently splay out along Voldemort’s cheek, stroking the ridges underneath his eyes. Voldemort lay there, staring at him, wholly absorbed in a way that Harry had never had anyone be in him before. He knows very well what I’m thinking. This isn’t some game we’re playing where I seduce him towards good and he doesn’t know what I’m doing. He would let me try to change him because… It makes him joyful when I’m joyful.

Summary: Sequel to ‘Retreat’ and ‘Advance.’ Harry has accepted the grim reality of his marriage with Voldemort, which cannot ever be undone. And then he discovers that, after all, joy is a matter of where you find it.
