For sale, a great example of this unique sword pattern carried by British officers from the 1820s to the 1840s, and even beyond. The 1821 is the first British pattern to include the famous pipeback blade designed by Prosser.
This one was retailed by Hebbert and Hume, at 8 Pall Mall street, which means it was made right in 1829, the only year where this company advertised itself under this banner for only a year. The maker etching is now faint, but can still be deciphered. It does bear George IV’s royal cypher on both sides, still quite clearly.
The sword is overall in excellent shape, with only surface patina that could easily be cleaned off if one desired to do so. The pommel nut appeared to have suffered a crack in the past, which was brazed. This is the only damage that can be seen.
1821s were used for a relatively long period, but are still scarce compared to the 1845. This is a chance to own an excellent example of this sabre.
