Sword from officer killed at Inkerman

Closeup photos would be welcome. These swords with provenance don't come along often, and once they do they tend to stay in a collection for decades. I'm guilty of holding onto some good swords with provenance, for what now looking back is a long time.
Cowells sword, portrait and uniforms are all something you cannot improve on. In my opinion swords with solid provenance and exceptional history of their officer cannot be topped. I'd rather have Cowells sword with a dented up scabbard than a minty bue and gilt 1796p or similar.
