Description

~ 1827 Pattern Royal Navy Dockyard Battalion Sword And Scabbard For Restoration ~

The blade is etched with the Queens crown and the Royal Navy fouled anchor. It has a two thirds length fuller to either side.

The ricasso has the proofing star to one side, the other side bears the cutlers name but it is too pitted to be read.

The dockyard battalions were formed in 1847 when the development of steam-powered vessels provoked worries about the vulnerability of England to invasion. A Royal Commission recommended strengthening the defences of the Royal Dockyards. Each yard formed a local protective force which was supplied with uniforms and arms. They practised drill after working hours, each man being paid 6d on hour overtime. The corps was broken up in about 1858.

~ Condition ~

This is a piece for restoration. The blade is decent but has some blackening. The grip is good with decent wire binding. The hinged flap is missing. The scabbard is decent though the leather has lost a fair part of its black finish.

~ Dimensions ~

The sword is 89 cm (35 inches) in length with a 73 cm (29 inches) blade.
