Title 1829 pattern light cavalry trooper's sabre
Nationality British
Period c 1830
Sold

Clean example with much factory polish extant to blade (36"). Scabbard has been carefully machine cleaned. Hilt has original leather binding with a few old inert worm holes. There are no ordnance marks/inspection stamps; however, this is an extremely scarce sword and hard to find in nice condition with scabbard.

This pattern is would have been carried by the bulk of the Light Brigade in their famous charge at Balaclava during the Crimean War, October 1854.

Bayonet arrived safe + sound this AM Sat. Special delivery excellent again. Worth the few extra bob. To be honest it was better than I dared hope. I usually avoid polished bits like the plague!! Your price was a bit fierce!! - but a great marking I lacked... Please email me anytime you have anything that might be of interest.
