No maker’s or retailer’s name to the forte, so likely purchased by the oofficer through a small outfitters / tailors. Slender dress weight (blade width) sword in its original plated steel dress scabbard.
The 32 1/8 inch well / grey (gray) etched dress weight blade is in very good condition, some small plating bubbling towards the point, firm in the hilt. The plated steel hilt / guard with King Edward VII’s royal cypher to the cartouche is in very good condition (unable to check under sword knot). The black fishskin grip with some flecks is in very good condition, as are the associated twisted grip wire bindings. Sword knot a very little grubby and worn, nothing much, is also very good. The plated steel scabbard generally good; the sword sheathes and draws well.
