British Pattern 1827 Rifle Officer's sword and scabbard. The hilt has a steel Pattern 1827 three bar half basket guard with a crown over a stringed bugle cartouche badge and a brass wire bound fishskin grip. A black sword knot is attached to the guard. The slightly curved Pattern 1845 blade has a single fuller to each side and heavily etched for three quarters of the length in floral pattern. On the right side centre there is a stringed bugle and the royal VR cypher on the left. The ricasso is stamped with a kings head and a knights head over W.K&C and the miltary outfitter's name of E WRIGHT & SON DUBLIN. The steel scabbard has two loose hanger rings on bands at 2 and 10.5 inches from the throat.
This sword belonged to General Sir Charles Rosenthal but this is unusual because his early military career was with the Artillery.
