This unusual sabre is an unmarked 1845 infantry officer model, with a non regulation two bar guard. One branch decorated with oak leaves, the other with acanthus. It is not certain if this sword was indeed made for a British officer, or used in a different country.
The blade is fairly massive compared to most 1845s, and the hilt is quite long as well. This is definitely not a parade piece, but meant to be used in battle.
The hilt is completely solid, with no movement. The light patina on the blade reflects the sword’s age. An unusual piece for the collector of British swords, or the historical fencer looking for an actual antique piece.
