Premium British Infantry Officer's Sword - ER 1897 Pattern (Steel Scabbard)

This sword is considered by some to be the best fighting sword ever issued to a British Officer. As such it has never been replaced and is the current issue sword within the British Army. The only difference between this sword and its Victorian predecessor is the cypher of the reigning monarch at the time of issue. The polished blade has been forged from AISI 1065 High Carbon Steel and has been well tempered.

Our Premium line is a step up in quality to our standard model. It features a real fish skin grip (stingray) bound with nickel plated wires, a steel guard with thick nickel plating and a highly finished scabbard with a wood core.
