It's a real beauty, isn't it? Definitely one of my favourite modern military swords so far. :)
*sigh* Makes me wish I had lots of money to spend on antiquities. :( |

The Ghurka light infantry regiments still use the 1827 hilt joined to the 92 blade Jonathan, as do the Regiments of Foot Guards, in their case with their badge replacing the Light Inf. bugle

Thank you Jonathan
My main interest are french cavalry sabers but i want the classic swords from UK too-the M1803, the M1796LC/HC/Infantry, the M1788. Till now i´ve got the M1803, 2 M1796LC and a M1796 infantry--looking for the HC for years-but thanks the Sharpe books the prices are insane. On the pic the M1796LC (scabbard incl, not on pic) and a yeomanry cavalry saber(no scabbard). Looks like a M1788 blade with a M1796 hilt. |
