1827P Victorian British Rifle Volunteer Regiment Officer's Sword, sold

In good condition, an 1827 pattern Victorian Rifle Volunteer Regiment officer's sword.

A good clean example of a rifle volunteer regiment officer's sword with nice stepped pommel making it more distinctive than most.

The 32 1/2 inch blade is in very good condition and the etching still crisp and clear. The blade is firm in the hilt. The hilt with some aging / flaking / loss of plating, but still in good condition. The fishskin grip and twisted grip wire bindings are very good, some slight movement in a couple of the lesser wire strands, nothing much. The scabbard with a couple of small dings, but overall very good. The sword sheathes and draws very well.

Please quote item reference number I63 (1086). Further / full sized pictures available upon request.
