- Description 1853 Pattern English Cavalry Sword with Steel Scabbard and Strap A well-preserved example of the 1853 Pattern English cavalry sword, a widely used mid-19th century military saber known for its robust construction and effective service design. This piece presents with a clean, well-maintained profile and strong overall condition. The blade retains a smooth, even surface with no visible dents or significant dings, exhibiting a pleasing, lightly aged finish consistent with careful preservation. The fuller is well-defined, and the blade shows minimal wear, enhancing its visual appeal. No visible maker’s mark or inspector’s stamp is present, which is not uncommon for examples of this pattern. The steel hilt and guard display a deep, dark brown patina, matching the overall tone of the piece. The grip remains structurally sound, with the original leather largely intact beneath the guard area, though showing expected age and handling wear. The wire binding remains secure, maintaining the integrity of the grip. The steel scabbard is in solid condition, showing a consistent dark patina with scattered areas of darker spotting from age. It remains free of major dents or deformation. Both suspension rings are intact, and the sword is accompanied by a single leather hanger strap attached to the rings, complete with functional snap hooks at each end. A clean and honest example of the 1853 Pattern cavalry sword, complete with scabbard and original-style hanger strap. Its balanced condition, intact components, and strong presentation make it an attractive addition for the collector of mid-19th century military edged weapons. Inventory Number: SWO 373
