1827 Pattern British Naval Sword
£600.00
A large British Naval sword dating from between 1830 and 1845. This good example of the pipeback blade dates from around 1830 when the way of securing the sword knot was changed from a ring to pierced holes in the guard.
The large reinforced quill tip was originally developed by Prosser to give swords a large cutting edge, but with a reinforced thrusting tip, trying to incorporate the best of both.
Originally introduced in 1827, it replaced the earlier 1822 Pattern. The main changes where the introduction of a solid brass guard with a crown and fouled anchor and a lion pommel. Replacing the previous open bars, royal cypher and stepped pomel
