Hammer Price:
£170

Cavalry Trooper’s Sword 1853 Pattern, a good quality example the blade with etched rococo panel bearing the floreated initial ‘W’, this coupled with a complete absence of unit markings possibly indicates a private purchase for a Yeoman, complete with correct pattern scabbard, the blade generally good but with evidence of some fairly harsh abrasive cleaning, the scabbard sound but with some severe pitting, £100-150
