a patrolmans/sergeants sword or a naval shore patrol sword

[lonely panet]

Hello everyone, im just showing off my latest piece i picked up today,

it might not appear much but to thoses who dont collect this era of imperial swords, BUT these are abit hard to find in mint condition now,

 

but it doesnt quite match either of the examples in jim dawsons book, is it a example not shown or has the scabbard been mis-matched in the past???

 

 

 

a very big thanks to the good friend who passed it on to me.

regards Hamish
