Infantry Officer's Sword
Last revised in 1897, the straight carbon steel blade of this sword is two-edged for the final section of its length and finely etched with the regimental crest. Formed from nickel-plated steel, the guard of the three-quarter basket hilt is pierced and etched with a scroll pattern that incorporates the royal cypher of the current sovereign.
The grip is in black fish-skin bound with silver plated copper wire.
The Infantry Officer's sword can be carried in a Sam Browne leather scabbard with plated brass mouthpiece for service wear, or in a nickel-plated steel scabbard for full dress occasions. |
