Original British Royal Navy George V Officer Sword

This British Royal Navy officer sword features a straight, single-edged etched steel blade, showing minimal oxidation. The brass basket hilt has a detailed lion-head pommel, wire-wrapped shagreen grip, and a gold sword knot. The black leather scabbard has ornate brass fittings. Dating to the reign of King George V, this sword was the standard sidearm for British naval officers during the First World War. The pattern traces its design lineage back to mid-19th century Royal Navy regulations, embodying centuries of naval command traditions. The guard is pierced with the crown and fouled anchor emblem. The blade ricasso bears a maker mark and proof plug. The solid brass lion-head pommel features a detailed mane, and the leather scabbard retains two brass suspension rings.
