Nice example, if somewhat overcleaned, of its type, marked 'Dawes Birmingham' at forte with the inspector's stamp of a crown over the number 6. This stamp changed its format circa 1820 to a three-part stamp which included a letter indicating where the inspection had taken place. This sword has been professionally stripped and polished and then rebuilt, but the work has been done to a very high standard. It would moreover appear to have its original grip. |
