- Lot Description
32.25" spear point blade, 1" wide at ricasso, with a 13" median fuller. 6.25" hilt with pierced, full-basket guard with Edward VII's royal cypher in the knuckle bow. Grooved wood, shagreen covered grip with 7 wraps of multi-strand plain and twisted copper wire. Reverse ricasso etched with the retailer information for Hobsons & Sons, the initials G.H.W.-K.B, foliate theme and scrolls and the royal cypher of Edward VII (ca 1901-1910). The obverse is etched with more foliate designs, a Mexican eagle-and-snake motif, a gloved hand wielding a scepter and with The Royal Warwickshire Regimental name and logo. Accompanied by the original leather-covered wood scabbard with nickel throat. Nice 2nd Boer War to pre-WWI era officer's sword from a famous English regiment, that served in South Africa and the Middle East during Edward VII's reign.
Very good. Blade with some discoloration and scattered oxidation present, but retaining some good polish and most of the frosty etching. Hilt very good, grip with some surface loss to the shagreen. Scabbard very good with scuffs and light wear.Condition
