Imperial Lion Head Artillery Officers Sword
Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.
The unmarked plated 33 inch blade on this one has age gray and some nail catchers. The tip is perfect and the fit is perfect. The blade rates Exc. The buffer pad remains. The steel based, black enamel painted scabbard has oxidation age and a dents toward the drag none of which impair insertion. The single throat retaining screw remains intact. The gilded hilt on this one has age darkening but I have not tried to clean it. It displays a jawless lion head pommel along with decorative leaf motif throughout. The langet shows crossed cannons. The wood based, blue/black ray skin covered grip looks good, remaining 95%+ intact. The double twisted wire wrap remains intact. This one is illustrated in Angolia reference pg 368 and these are attributed to the undress sabre of the Dragoons. Hussars and Uhlans. A decent example!
