I am selling a reproduction of a fine infantry officer's dress sword dating from Victorian times. Queen Victoria's emblem VRI (Victoria Regia India) Its grip is bound with twisted copper wire, like an original, which were of course bound with full silver wire.
Its steel blade is 83 cms./32.5" long. It is engraved with scroll ornaments and the royal initials "VRI" on both sides.
Total length of sword (including brass scabbard) is 98 cms/38.1/2".Weight : 1 kg/2 lbs.
It is ideal for display and a first-class stage sword.
Original swords in such a good condition are very rare and thus very expensive for collectors.
