Miniature RAN Sword.
This beautifully boxed miniature sword captures over 200 years of military history.
In 1805, officers were first issued with the Royal Navy pattern sword.
In 1827, a solid-hilt design superseded this impressive but impractical design.
The adoption of a standardised blade occured in 1846, equally important, the current single-edged straight blade became standard issue in 1929.
The Royal Navy Sword today carried by Commissioned Officers features a gold-plated brass hilt, white fish-skin grip and a distinctive and elegant brass lion pommel.
Additionally, a magnificent full-sized version is also available.
