Description ( Item Id: 888783 )
I have a very nice British 1796 officers sword. It is tight¸ the hinged guard still works nicely and doesn´t flop about. The blade has a lovely salt and pepper finish on it but has very little pitting except for a few small spots. The grip is silver foil over wood with some peeling. There is still some gold wash on it which is why the hilt looks so bright in the photos. The sword is solid and the blade has a very nice temper. This sword has a fine airy balance for all it´s beefy single edged blade. I am asking $450 for it. Free shipping CONUS.
