A VERY RARE REGIMENTAL PATTERN COFFIN HILT SABRE TO THE 10TH (PRINCE OF WALES'S OWN) LIGHT DRAGOONS, 78cm clean curved blade, regulation steel hilt with large diamond shaped langets, D-shaped knuckle guard with slightly downturned quillon, coffin-shaped pommel set with the Prince of Wales feathers in gold and brass, spirally fluted ebony grip, the whole set with and highlighted with polished faceted studs of graduated size, contained in its openwork steel scabbard, the three open panels trimmed in fishskin, some losses. It is suggested, given the fine quality and obvious stature of the hilt, that it was made for the commanding officer of the Regiment who at that time was in fact George, Prince of Wales.

Such a fun place to get some photos and see all the Soldiers putting in work with the horses. #horses #soldiers #forthoodtexas #cavalary (at 1st Cavalry Division Horse Cavalry Detachment (HCD))
