British Officers’ Swords c.1800-20

There was some interest in my tulwar post to see a comparison of grip sizes and to see a hand actually holding the swords for a sense of scale. Here are some photos I took way back in 2010 (apologies for the terrible background and lower image quality). I’m not sure what I was trying to achieve when I took these, but they do demonstrate how one could hold the swords, I suppose. They are, in order from top to bottom:

  • British Pattern 1803 Infantry Officer’s Sword
  • British Pattern 1796 Light Cavalry Officer’s Sword
  • British Pattern 1796-style Officer’s Sword (with pipe-back blade)
