A very good British Napoleonic Infantry Flank Officer’s Sword. This example has a distinctive stirrup hilt with fishskin and steel twistwire to the grip. The blade is plain with a pronounced curve and double edged towards the end of the blade. These swords are often confused with light cavalry swords of the period as the stirrup-type hilt and curved blade are very similar but the infantry swords are invariably shorter in length.
Complete with original leather and steel mounted scabbard
The sword comes complete with its original leather and steel mounts. In good overall condition – one scabbard ring missing. Blade length is 27.5 inches (32 inches overall).
