1872 Life Guard’s Officers Sword- Costume
Description
Victorian Life Guard’s Officer Dress Sword. Officially sanctioned in 1872, this sword was carried by this famous regiment through the Boer War and WWI until 1922 when the 1st and 2nd Life Guards were amalgamated. This did not end the life of this impressive pattern. Instead the “2” was dropped from the guard’s ornamental cypher and it became the official state sword of the Life Guards.
