1822 Royal Artillery Officers Sword and Scabbard

Originally based on the 1822 Light Cavalry pattern, the Royal Artillery sword is made from highly polished, hand-forged high carbon steel featuring a slightly curved and spear pointed blade.

The half – basket hilt, consisting of three channelled bars and black ray skin bound hilt is finished in polished nickel-plated steel.

The Royal Artillery Officers’ Sword can be carried in a brown leather scabbard with a plated steel mouthpiece for service wear or in a nickel-plated steel scabbard for full dress occasions.
