Hello Will,
Interesting seeing it lined up with the`1796 and I imagine how that would have been used against Tulvars and the like. The floral design looks amazing and was apparently from Icanthus leaf designs. This was a great Officer and the Sword and battle Honours you present with it are great to see...
