The Oakeshott Institue has published a very detailed online report on: The 1831 Pattern British General Officers Ivory Hilted Scimitar from which I take the following quote: "As a generalisation, the Ivory Hilted Scimitar, mostly commonly seen today at the side of Generals from many nations, represents perhaps more than any other sword the fact that 'one has arrived'".

I am selling an authentic copy of this scimitar, because original pieces are almost unobtainable and very expensive.

It is factory new with its curved blade etched in detail as the original. It has a solid brass scabbard. Its white grip looks like ivory, but we use an ivory imitation, otherwise we could not sell it.

Its blade is 85 cms./33.5" long.
Overall length of sword (in scabbard) is 100 cms/39.3".
Weight : 1.2 kgs/ 2.7 lbs.
