British Royal Navy Dress Saber with Leather Grip

This British Royal Navy Dress Saber is still carried today by the Royal Navy as a dress sword, bearing the marks of tradition, history, and empire. First issued in 1827, this style of saber has stayed largely the same since its inception. The heavily-etched blade displays the symbols and seals of the British Empire along with the Navy's iconic anchor. The brass hilt features a large, fouled anchor and has a hinged part to latch onto the scabbard stud for secure retention during rough seas. The lion-head pommel pays homage to the legendary blade of Admiral Nelson himself. The grip is crafted from high-quality leather, coupled with inlaid bands of fine brass wire for an authentic, period-correct look. The leather scabbard is adorned with brass accents and includes two suspension rings, while a leather washer at the base of the blade protects the crossguard from colliding with the brass throat of the scabbard.

First introduced in 1827, this iconic saber has served the Royal Navy through numerous conflicts and remains a symbol of maritime tradition. Adopted by all Commonwealth navies during the British Empire's height, it even found its way into the hands of Confederate Navy officers during the American Civil War. The saber's design is a blend of the gothic style popular in the early 19th century and classical elements that recall Admiral Nelson’s era.
