Georgian / Victorian British Royal Navy Officer's Mameluke Sabre, sold

In fair / sound condition; an exceptionally rare Georgian / Victorian British Royal Navy officer's mameluke.

An exceptionally rare and sought after pattern of British naval sword, normally worn by senior (flag) officers and nobility.

25 Inch naval service length blade has rust patches / patina and a few nicks to the forward cutting edge, firm in the hilt. The hilt has lost most of its gilt, the ivory grip though is in good condition save for a few marks and general ivory aging; the rosettes are all there, which is a bonus.

OK, not in the best condition, but don't wait for the next one to come along; it will almost certainly be a very long time before another does and at a higher price. Our price is exceptionally good, just £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference M50 (1267). Further / full sized images available upon request.
