Original Item: One of a Kind. This is a magnificent Napoleonic Era British naval captain’s fighting saber, complete with its original correct scabbard. The saber is named to Captain John Edgcumbe R.N., who was born in 1775 and died in 1837.

The saber has a fine checkered walrus ivory grip, with the stirrup hilt retaining much of its original gold wash. Into this is set a manly curved blade measuring 28″ with a wicked hatchet point. The overall length of the saber is 33″. The rain guards (langets / chappes) extending from the cross guard are engraved with an entwined J.E. monogram on one side, for Capt. Edgcumbe’s initials. The other side is engraved with a wild boar, the Mount Edgcombe family crest.

The saber comes complete with its original brass mounted leather scabbard, all gilding now absent. The brass locket itself has further engraved markings:

Cap’t J. Edgcumbe
R – N
Gibbons
Ports’mo

“Gibbons would be the supplying cutler located in Portsmouth, England. In fine used condition this has come in from England, where it was on display in the family home until the second world war.

John Edgcombe was the nephew of the First Lord Earl of Mount Edgcombe, George Mount-Edgcombe (1721 – 1795). With the sword came an old crumpled photocopy or print out, giving history of Captain Edgcumbe’s Royal Navy service:
