William IV 1822 Pattern Infantry Officer's Sword

The first regulation pattern following the 1796 spadroon and the 1803 sabre, the 1822 has a characteristic brass half-basket 'Gothic' hilt, showing William IV's cypher. Folding inner guard.

The blade is a curved pipe-back and quill point regulation example. Condition of the blade is as shown in the pictures, with some nicks present and most of the etching gone.

A good example, with its original steel scabbard. William IV swords are scarce, as he was king for only 7 years.
