Description

An unusual 1897 pattern Victorian Indian officers sword outfitted by Manton at their Calcutta office, made in London. A small badge with thistles insignia bearing the motto 'Nemo me impune lacessit' can be seen on the guard. We believe the sword probably belonged to a Regular officer before being used by the Calcutta Scottish Regiment in the early part of the 20th century. Volunteer regiments often used equipment and arms which did not conform to the standard pattern which might explain why the Crown is Queens when the regiment was only established in 1914 and should be Kings.
