A few of you guys & gals probably know by now I am a collector of fine arms and militaria from the 19 Century. I have found this excellent reproduction of Nelsons sword as used in Battle of Trafalgar.

Admiral Nelson's fighting Sword This pattern of sword was quite popular amongst Navy officers throughout the 1790s and into the 19th century. For example many of the officers at the Battle of Trafalgar would have had this pattern of sword. This version is based on the sword carried by the Wax mannequin of Lord Nelson on display at Westminster Abbey made in 1806.











Wax mannequin of Lord Nelson on display at Westminster Abbey made in 1806. The picture shows him wearing his sword.

Hello Artful, The sword was £197 and cost £67 to import from America. Hope this helps.

Paul.
