Title 1796 pattern light cavalry trooper's sabre
Nationality British
Period c 1810
Sold

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.

Today I received your flag. It's very nice and looks genuine to me. Beautifull crisp colors! It looks barely used. It's a nice addition to my ww2 collection. I would even say, one of my top pieces.

Thanks for your excellent service and top communication!

I will check your site more often to see if you have more nice pieces.
