This magnificent piece of work was last amended in 1897 and is widely renowned for its design and build. Manufactured from carbon steel, the blade of this sword is double-edged at the end of its length and daintily engraved with the regimental crest. A wonderful characteristic about this sword is that the guard of the three-quarter basket hilt is penetrated and etched with a scroll design that incorporates the royal cipher of the current sovereign and is shaped from nickel-plated steel. The grip is meticulously crafted in black fish-skin and clenched with silver-plated copper wire. The Infantry Officers Sword can be worn with the assistance of a Sam Browne leather scabbard with plated steel mouthpiece for service wear or in a beautifully nickel-plated steel scabbard for formal full dress occasions.
