This 1846 pattern British EIIR Royal Navy officer’s sword in in near parade condition.
The 805mm single-edged blade has a narrow fuller below a flat spine that tapers to a double-edged spear point. The blade is etched with rope fouled oak boughs surrounding a rayed crown and the royal cypher of the late Queen Elizabeth II. The obverse of the blade bears the Royal Navy fouled anchor motif below a rayed crown, between fouled oak leaves and acorns. The forte bears the Royal Arms.
The etching is crisp and clear. The blade is in near mint condition and, given a polish, parade ready.
The ricasso bears a stamped maker mark showing overlaid letters H H S with a sword through them. The obverse ricasso bears an etched proof mark.
The solid half-basket guard is in excellent condition. The bowl of the guard bears the Georgian crown and fouled anchor of the Royal Navy. The inner folding guard is in perfect working order and mates with the pin on the scabbard.
The mane of the highly detailed lion head pommel forms the back strap and the “D” guard extends from between the lion’s jaws. The twisted copper wire wrap is present and correct. The hilt retains its Royal Navy bullion sword knot and blade is firm in the hilt.
The sword is complete with its black leather scabbard with gilt brass mounts. The scabbard is in good condition with small losses to the original finish. The sword sheaths and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.
This Queen Elizabeth II Royal Navy officer’s sword is in very good condition and could be a great sword for a serving officer.
