British Royal Navy Officer's Sword - 1827 Pattern

Please note: This item is a historical replica and not current issue to the Royal Navy

This iconic sword was first introduced to Royal Navy in 1827 and has been in service throughout a whole host of conflicts right up until today. It was adopted by all of the Commonwealth Navies in the British Empire and is still carried today as a dress sword.

The brass hilt features a lion-head pommel, adopted from the earlier 1805 pattern swords of Nelson’s navy, an imitation ray-skin grip wrapped with brass wire and a crown and fouled anchor motif on the guard. It features a hinged latch to allow it to be attached to the scabbard, a requisite for a naval officer’s side arm, especially when on-board during a gale! The AISI 1065 high carbon steel blade is tempered and decorated with etchings. One side features the Crown and Fouled Anchor of the Royal Navy, the other side featuring the Royal Coat of Arms. The scabbard is black leather and features decorated brass fittings and 2 suspension rings.
