Hello Elaine,

 

Welcome to the GWF, an expert will be along shortly.

I cannot ID it, but may I say how absolutely beautiful it is!

The silver (stainless steel?) scabbard is I believe the “dress” scabbard, while the brown leather one was intended for everyday use.

I am not a sword aficionado, but do like them, and have not previously seen a silver-colored chape on such a leather scabbard.

Do not part with these items carelessly, they appear to be of fine quality and may well have belonged to a family member.

 

Regards,

JMB

edit: Apology for trying to tell you what to do/ not to do.

What I meant was to not sell for a less than fair-value price......

I rather think it's a Scottish Regimental Field Officers sword, on the blade it looks like an Edward the seventh cypher.

As an ex Scottish Divisional officer and having carried a Broadsword on parade I don't recognise the pattern on the basket/guard.

The two scabbards are (metal) for parade and ceremonial use, the leather for field or barrack use.

It looks like the heavy cavalry “honeysuckle” hilt.

 

All the best,

As thought its an original Scottish C.1900's 1857 Pattern Field Officer's Sword
