1755 Pattern English Dragoon Cavalry Backsword, sold

In very good order for its age, a rare 1755 pattern English dragoon sword / sabre.

A magnificent 1755 English cavalry backsword for a dragoon cavalryman with distinctive semi-basket hilt. This sword is in very good order for its age. The 35 3/4 inch blade has a few nicks to the single cutting edge and is firm in the hilt; no markings now visible to the blade as this has been regularly cleaned / polished over time. The hilt in absolutely superb condition for its age. The fishskin grip has shrunk lengthways a little, but is in pretty good shape with its grip wire bindings still in place.

I need to receive £? (too late, now sold) for this fine sword. Further / full sized images available upon request. My reference is 742 (296).
