An incomplete iron dress sword. It is a French style dress hilt sword of the nineteenth or early twentieth centuries. The key identifying feature is the kick over at the top of the handle, this is typically French. The folded over guard indicates that this is a dress sword. It had to be folded over so not to damage the dress uniform. The hilt is a half-basket Continental type. The holes in the hilt are for decoration – again this is a French design. The back of the sword blade is flat, it is therefore a single edged sword with two fullers on either side of the blade. The sword i…
