i couldn't let it lie. as an ex USCG Ossifer i couldn't let it get away...
UK Mounted Coast Guard Sabre. Napoleonic era, early 19c. 75cm(29.5”) curved blade with flat back, single edged except for the last 8” with a hatchet point. looks much like the 1796 LC blade. Brass knuckle guard with additional side guard and a circumferentially grooved grip shaped to the hand. The browned grip is made out of cast iron. complete with scabbard, brass fittings (needs some TLC). i gather it's fairly rare. should arrive later this week, will update with any markings then. |
