Late Edwardian era 1827 Royal Naval Warrant Officer’s sword & scabbard. Gilt rounded pommel, with half chequered grip backstrap, 'black' ray skin grip with wire wrap and gilt brass guard, showing the fouled anchor & crown, with folding/locking langet. The full bullion wire woven gilt knot is retained, being wrapped correctly for ceremonial wear. 80cm long, straight nickel blade, shows immaculate condition etching to both sides of foulded anchors, royal crown etc, with maker mark for Samuel Brothers LTD, London. Clear engravings, with near mint nickel blade. Serial numbered for maker 13596 & MADE IN ENGLAND to spine. Scabbard shows all 3 gilt brass lockets and suspension rings, being generally very good overall. These Warrant Officer's swords are scarce, with many being either too expensive to purchase by the owner or simply falling out of fashion and use, thus being discarded.

The condition of this sword is quite impressive, especially given it's rarity as a Warrant Officer's sword.
