Intriguing British sword to identify

Belgian1 · 19th November 2018, 09:24 AM

Hello from Belgium, to all members

Today I have seen this sword, on Internet, which it seems ''incognito'' at auction and seems to me quite intriguing to create a topic of discussion to try to identify it.
It seems to be an interesting model before the sword regulation in the British Army and it presents what seems to be a nice mix of Flank officer with a style of grenadier, a size of Navy edge sword, a pommel of P1788 but looks like Model 1803..... and for you what else

What do you think of this model that certainly has a beautiful story to tell. Wonderful or disappointing?

Thank you for your opinions and opinions.

Have a nice day or night

Fabrice, you have a PM.

I saw that recently on the auction site. Interesting, but it was live so I restrained myself from query/comment as that is not allowed here.

I'm really sorry Fernando and apologize to you and to the members of this Forum

Hello Kronckew,
Yes indeed it was in auction and I did not know that it was not advisable to present an object in the course of sale. I will not do it anymore and apologize to the administrators.
I found this sword so interesting and original that I was tempted to present it for opinion. I have some swords from Flank officers and I thought there was a family look.
Maybe now that it is no longer auction, can you give your opinion on this "interesting" piece?
Kind regards
