Description: | Scabbard for stirrup hilted dress sword. Owned by Captain Edward Chetham (died 1862). The black leather scabbard has two gilt brass lockets and a gilt brass chape. The lockets are fitted with a loop in the form of a serpent at the back edge, and the chape with a small, ornamental shoe. All three mounts are decorated with dull and bright work showing acanthus and other foliage. An oval plaque on each piece shows (top) a lion passant, (mid) Hope and (chape) Hercules. On the reverse of the top locket is inscribed 'Dudley Portsmouth'. | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
