The first Royal Navy pattern sword, introduced in 1805, had an elegant but impractical design that was replaced by a solid-hilt version in 1827. In 1846, a standardized blade was introduced for all Royal Navy officers. The current light, single-edged straight blade was adopted in 1929.
Carried by Royal Navy Commissioned Officers. Brass hilt with Queens crown and anchor cypher with copper wire bound white shagreen grip. Lion headed pommel, the inside section of the guard, folds on a brass hinge towards the blade (Marked 5), to engage with a pin on the scabbard top mount and allow the sword to rest easily against the wearer’s side when worn. 790mm single edged blade with 3/4 fuller on both sides, marked on the ricasso – “The Britannic Sword Co”, sword engraved. Serial Number “109953” engraved on the spine. The scabbard is made of black rawhide with gold-plated brass mounts.
