This Victorian Volunteer Rifle’s sword was retailed in London by Hebbert & Co. around 1860.

The 820mm single-edged blade is of the 1845 “Wilkinson” pattern. Earlier 1845 pattern blades were slightly curved, becoming straighter as the 19th Century entered its final quarter. The blade has a flat spine above a broad single fuller and tapers to a double-edged spear point. The blade is in good condition with small patches of pale tarnish and some wear to the etching. There are sharpening scratches along its length on one side.

The blade is etched with the Rifle Brigade’s strung horn with the words, Volunteer Rifles. The obverse of the blade has Queen Victoria’s crowned royal cipher amidst foliate scrollwork panels. The ricasso is etched with the retailer’s details, Hebbert & Co., Pall Mall, London. Hebbert & Co. traded from these premises until 1864. The obverse ricasso bears a proof stud showing the letter P.

The Gothic steel guard is in good condition with minor wear. The guard incorporates an oval cartouche containing the crowned, strung horn badge of the Rifle Regiment. The smooth back strap has a knurled thumb rest and ends in a stepped oval pommel. The shagreen grip is in good condition with some polish residue that can be cleaned off. The three strands of wire are intact and tight. The blade is firm in the hilt.

The sword is complete with its polished steel scabbard with two suspension rings. The scabbard is in good condition with a speckled patina. The sword sheathes and draws smoothly.

This is a good example of a Victorian Volunteer Rifle officer’s sword.
