British 1822 Pattern Infantry Officer’s Sword – Early Wilkinson Sword – Pre-1855 – Family Crest – 33rd Regiment of Foot

An unusual British 1822 Pattern Infantry Officer’s Sword to an officer in the 33rd (Duke of Wellington) Regiment of Foot.  The sword was made by Wilkinson Sword but pre-dates 1855 when they started numbering their blades.  Is regimentally etched to the blade and also contains the elaborate family crest – from initial research (from Fairbairn’s Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland) the crest represents the Davies family of Wales.  A sword definitely worthy of further research.  With typical gilt-brass Gothic hilt (missing rear folding guard).  Blade in good condition.  Complete with worn scabbard.  Blade length is 33 inches (39 inches overall).
