1886? Sword. European style similar to naval swords?


Recommended Posts

Hello Kenny, interesting find. 
My first thought went to a police parade sabre. But two things don’t match. The two suspension rings and the fact that there is no metal ornate on the back and side of the handle... which is very specific.

 

in the Fuller and Gregory book I found a drawing of such a sword like yours with these two specific characteristics and it states: “regulation c. 1873 pattern marines and marine artillery offecers and NCO’s sword” 

a picture of the back of the pommel would be interesting. Sometimes this is the place where specific indications are.
