Silver wire bound leather grip, steel stirrup guard, curved fullered blade with single edge, very finely blued and gilt on both faces for half it's length and etched for the remainder. The decoration includes Britannica, stands of arms, Royal cipher of G.R, mounted officer, maker's particulars etc. Complete with it's steel scabbard. About as fine an example as could be found
