After Maker/retailer Info: 1822/45 Pattern Sabre by Manders & Allender Liverpool

Hi Gene,

AFAIK, the design cast into the backstrap is consistent with the P1845...

Question though - I see a break in the ribbon bar of the hilt closest to the lens (in the 2nd photo). Is there a break in the bar, or does the sword have a folding counter guard? IIRC, the folding guard was dispensed with in the P1845...

Is the portepee original to the sword?
