A very good Victorian British Rifle Regiment Officer's Sword

Listing # 2253

A very good British Victorian Rifle Regiment officer's sword. Unlike many examples of these, the steel hilt and scabbard are in very good order, so make a very good display item. The 33.25 inch blade is worn (over cleaned) but the etching is still visible except for the maker's name. The original owner's initials "F H" have been stamped to the forte / ricasso. Everything firm, fishskin and ring bindings (twisted grip wire) all good. 1.343 Kg so with packaging over 2Kg.

Please note: PayPal and non-EU (IBAN) bank transfers attract 3% surcharge to cover charges levied upon me. I bank in the UK and Portugal; UK to UK bank transfers, EU IBAN bank transfers (in Euros or if converted into GBP) and UK cheques (when converted to GBP) and Portuguese Euro cheques - no surcharge, although payment by UK cheque will take a long time to get to me, then my bank and clear of course.

I only use the local post office to send items; if you want a courier such as UPS, Fedex or DHL, YOU will have to organize and pay for it. I am quoting using the cheapest option, Economy, which is registered and provides basic tracking. Estimated delivery times are Europe (7 to 10 days), USA / Canada / Australasia (2 weeks). The price includes specialist cardboard sword box. Price does not include insurance; if you want this PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING. There are faster delivery options available including an express service; please let me know if you want details of such options.

I sometimes use little white styrofoam chips to balance items so I can photograph them; so if you see a little white thing, that is what it is. I often use composite photos (photos which show the item from different sides / angles); so if you see one photo which has both sides of the item, it is only one item (unless specified), not two items (unless stated).
