Made in England by Reeves, a British 1853 pattern cavalry trooper’s sword with Italian cavalry regiment and state markings. Note: Reeves to the spine, British (Reeves) crown proof mark to the obverse nothing to the forte / ricasso, Italian cavalry regiment marking to the inside of the guard / hilt, Italian state / army “ZG” to the scabbard’s drag; if you are in any doubt, the markings from an all Italian 1860m’s inside hilt included in the photos for comparison.
The 35 inch blade is in very good condition and firm in the hilt. The iconic 3 bar steel guard is in very good condition, a little light even speckling. The composite grip with wear / age, but not too much. The heavy steel scabbard also equally good. The sword sheathes and draws well.
Bet you will never get a chance at another! So, if you are an 1853p collector, bets grab it very quick. This Italian Job can be yours for just was £? (too late, now sold)! Please quote item reference ZY18. Further / full sized images available upon request. Box 1841 112x16x19 (2.94).
