A British 1853 Pattern Sword This sword was introduced to the army, prior to the start of the Crimean war. This 1853 pattern is the sword carried by half of the troopers involved in the Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean war, the other half carrying the 1821 pattern. Good condition, showing it its age. Minor pitting on blade. Leather scabbard in excellent condition. Provenance: Peter Nathan Militaria
