Standard British 1796 Pattern with straight single-fullered blade with blued panel displaying gilded floral motifs and panoplies of arms. Gilt brass hilt with folding counter guard on left side. Twisted silver wire-wrapped grip. Complete with its original black leather scabbard with gilt brass mounts. Complete with original gilt sword knot. CONDITION: Blade retains about 50% original faded blue and gilt. Some scattered frosting. Hilt retains about 75-85% original gilt wash with some high edge and handling wear. Grip wrap present but slightly loose. Scabbard very good with some minor cracking to surface. Mounts show generous traces of gilt finish. A very attractive example. DMG
