Description: | Scabbard for light Cavalry-Type Sword.und each oval and along the edge of the locket or chape. The black leather scabbard has two gilt lockets (with rings) and a chape. Each is perceived with an oval hole 21mm/11mm. A design of lines (six on the obverse and one on the reverse) passes round each oval and along the edge of the locket or chape. This design, reminiscent of a stripe and curl of a later era, is so similar to that on the scabbard of dirk WPN1059 to make it probable that this scabbard was also made by Tatham.
Blade dimensions: 28" x 1 1/2". Given by Admiral Sir George Robert Lambert G.C.B. as the sword used by Nelson at St. Vincent and Teneriffe. | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
