Possibly a Battle of Waterloo or Peninsula War bring back trophy as it has been in the UK according to the previous owner for time immemorial. As the photos show, good amounts of stunning original blue and gilt etch remain.
The 32 1/4 inch curved blue and gilt etched blade is in good condition and firm in the hilt. The gilt brass hilt in good condition, as is the grooved ebonized grip. The steel and brass scabbard is good but has several dings, specially around the drag, commensurate with active mounted use. The sword sheathes and draws quite well.
What a great looking authentic Napoleonic officer’s sword to own! And who knows, it may have been at Napoleon’s last stand, the Battle of Waterloo. Come on, £1650 makes this one of if not the best buy(s) on this site. Please quote item reference AI20. Further / full sized images available upon request. Box 1939 107 x 15 x 16 (2.082).
