Product Description
This sword is considered by some to be the best fighting sword ever issued to a British Officer. As such it has never been replaced and is the current issue sword within the British Army. The only difference between this sword and its Victorian predecessor is the cypher of the reigning monarch at the time of issue. The polished blade has been forged from AISI 1065 High Carbon Steel and has been well tempered. Includes regulation pattern leather scabbard.
Our Premium line is a step up in quality from our standard model. The steel guard has been made by CNC to ensure high precision cuts and features a thick nickel plating (above 12 micron). The grip is made from real fish skin (stingray) and bound with nickel plated wires. The scabbard is crafted to MOD specifications using hand-stitched, premium quality 1mm thick buff leather surrounding a wooden core.
