This fine cut steel smallsword is a classic Boulton production from the Soho works in Birmingham. This type of sword would have been worn at court right through the Regency period at the end of George III's reign. The blue and gold blade retains 80%+ of its original finish and its original chatelaine.
The scabbard is white snakeskin and is in excellent shape. I have now polished the scabbard mounts and removed the light covering of dried grease on the top and bottom chape. It has its original chain guard with one small section of the dangles missing. Otherwise the whole weapon is in excellent shape. The blade is almost certainly German. The hilt has 90%+ of its original lead polish finish.
