[ s378 ] 1827 pat British rifle officers sword

Description

1827 pat British rifle officers sword, wear to fish skin grip, more so on one side then the other, good wire to grip, etched blade in pretty good condition, there is the odd small areas of pitting but nothing too detracting as you can see by the images.
Wear to the silvered finish on the guard but typical for this type of sword, obviously its been handled & proudly worn for a long period of time.
British sword & maker/ retailers name but a lot of these were used here in Australia so quite possibly used in the colonies prior to 1900, sword has a leather knot, its possibly original or it may be a later but quite early made replacement, scabbard has several dents but the finish is still in quite good shape.
