Item Description: Translate description
This elegant English Officer's Small Sword likely dates to the Napoleonic period (late 18th to early 19th century) but may feature a rehilted blade from the 17th century. The sword features a classically narrow triangular thrusting blade with a chiseled ricasso and a minimalist guard.

The hilt exhibits the simple, elegant form of late Georgian officer swords, potentially updated from an older fighting blade to meet contemporary uniform standards. A refined and historically complex piece.

During the Napoleonic Wars, many British officers carried swords that were privately purchased and customized, often incorporating heirloom blades or continental parts. The small sword was a symbol of both rank and personal combat readiness, though by this period it had become largely ceremonial in nature. The potential reuse of a 17th-century blade suggests a strong family or regimental tradition, adding to the sword's mystique and narrative potential.
