Brian, its great to have you posting, and thank you for sharing this most interesting sabre. We dont see many regulation pieces like this, and this one is rugged, just the way I like 'em!!! Think of the stories it could tell! Who knows, it was a pattern in use during the Crimean War, perhaps one of the officers who was there. Always fascinated by the accounts such as 'The Thin Red Line' and of course Battle of the Alma, Charge of the Light Brigade etc.

Beautifully described Norman, its great to have nicely detailed text giving us more on the general history of the pattern.
Nicely done guys, thank you!!!

All best regards,
Jim
