British Hanger like a model 1751

[Kmaddock]

Hi Jim/Norman,
Thanks for your interest and knowledge.
I knew absolutley nothing about this sword when i purchased it.
I have Robinson's book and recogonised it as a hanger and took a punt at the sword, 1788 and 1796 LC are more my main collecting area so i decided to try and get an earlier sword.

I have attached the photos the auctioneer sent on to me so you can see it was in a rough enough shape but I taught it might be decent enough under all the obvious rust.

Jim, the guard is heart shaped like M M1741's and M1751's but the all steel handguard as you note is a little different. Cleaning is now finished so the platina is safe, it looks a bit red in the photos but in the hand, I am happy I have all the active rust removed

A sword I am happy to have and at a very reasonable price, i think, my wife might differ.
Best regards to all
Ken
