Welsh Guards Officers Sword and Scabbard
Welsh Guards Officers Sword and Scabbard
The design and pattern of the existing Welsh Guard Sword was commissioned in 1854. It is a lesser known fact that this sword was the steel version of the 1845 Infantry pattern sword, excluding the hinged flap and the addition of the Scots Guards’ regimental cartouche.
It was not until the Dress Regulations of 1857 that the blades of Guards’ swords were decorated with their regimental badge and battle honours, a distinct characteristic which has remained to this day.
The 1854 pattern Welsh Guards sword is carried in a nickel-plated steel scabbard with a shoe, mouthpiece and two suspension bands and rings. A brown leather scabbard is also available for service wear.
