British Infantry Officer's Sword - ER 1897 Pattern (Steel Scabbard)
This sword is considered by some to be the best fighting sword ever issued to a British Officer. As such it has never been replaced and is the current issue sword within the British Army. The only difference between this sword and its Victorian predecessor is the cypher of the reigning monarch at the time of issue. The polished blade has been forged from AISI 1065 High Carbon Steel and has been well tempered.

British Cavalry Officer Sword - 1908 Pattern
The 1908 Pattern Cavalry Trooper's Sword was the last service sword issued to the cavalry of the British Army. It is widely considered the most effective cavalry sword ever designed, although ironically its introduction occurred as swords finally became obsolete as military weapons. This sword has a forged steel blade which has not been tempered so we would only recommend it for display only. Steel guard, wood grip and steel scabbard (painted green).
