Canadian 1845 Infantry Sword (Halifax)

Offered is a lovely Maritime Canadian Militia sword marked to the distributer Bell & Anderson of Halifax Nova Scotia. The blade is gorgeous with an fine etched blade with VR cypher and an undamaged edge. The hilt no longer retains its gilt, but it is in very good condition and oddly sports a finished wood grip. It appears this sword was crafted in this way without its rough indented grip for a covering and wire wrap. It is more in line with a fine wood pistol grip, tight fitting, stained and polished like a piece of furniture. The scabbard is in good overall condition and a classic for the militia officer.
