Title Staff officer's sword, pattern 1822
Nationality British
Period c 1880
Sold

This has the 1845 pattern blade and the staff officer's brass scabbard. It was made by Edward Thurkle of London (marked at forte, not visible in photo, 'E.THURKLE, SOHO, LONDON'). He was active at this address 1876-99. These swords were carried by majors up to the rank of lieutenant general, when the general officer's mamaluke kicked in.

The blade has nearly all its factory polish, hence the price. The fishskin grip is in good shape and all the wiring is extant.

The sword lives up to expectations and looks even better than on the website. The detail and etching is superb.

Thanks so much for your help and the extra information.
