Serial number 101615 to the blade, 90651 (crossed out) and 8596 to the drag / chape of the scabbard.
The very sharp 30 1/4 inch blade has some patina spots and cleaning scratches but is good and firm in the hilt. The steel hilt / guard is good. The checkered wooden grip has wear but is good. The steel scabbard with dings is good nonetheless. The sword / sabre / saber sheathes and draws well.
Nice above average example at a lower than normal average price, £500. Please quote item reference Z57. Further / full sized images available upon request. Box 1598-111x15x14 (2.139).
