<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 76572, member: 25"]That is a decent British Army infantry officer's regulation issue sword from about 1901 to 1910. See Edward VII on the guard. You already have this. UK value around $150 equivalent. There is not much more to say, really. I can't see the decoration to decipher any regimental marks. The coat of arms is the royal standard,the United Kingdom coat of arms, which is routine, but may indicate a Guards regiment. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not cavalry, cavalry swords have a slight curve to them.
