Original Greece Mid 19th Century British Made P-1827 Officer’s Sword by Alfred Pillin
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic Greek etched and used British P-1827 Officer’s Sword, marked with the monogram of King Otto of Greece, who reigned from 1832 to 1862. This sword would have been used on the multiple battlefields of the Revolts in Thessaly, Macedonia and Epirus against the Ottoman Empire.
This is a very nice Victorian Era Pattern 1827 Officers Sword, with a lovely etched 29 1/4" inch long "flat backed" blade. The design is classic and very attractive.
The sword features a solid "Gothic" style half basket guard, which bears the King’s Crown over a "O", the emblem of Otto of Greece. It has a partial fold-down guard, which made it more comfortable to wear on the hip. The grip is wrapped with ray skin and bound with copper wires, and the pommel is a very attractive "Lion's Head" design. There is quite a bit of the original gilding still present.
The blade at one time had lovely etching on both sides, however it unfortunately has become oxidized and faded in many areas. This makes many of the designs quite hard to see, but what we can see is the King’s monogram. However the maker/retailer name can still be partially read:
ALFRED PILLIN

Unfortunately the rest of the information is too faded to be read.
A very nice Victorian Era Military sword, ready to add to your collection!
