William IV P1822 Named Officer's Sword, 97th Reg
William IV 1822 Pattern Named Officer's Sword, 97th Regiment of Foot (Earl of Ulster's)
The first regulation pattern following the 1796 spadroon and the 1803 sabre, the 1822 has a characteristic brass half-basket 'Gothic' hilt, showing William IV's cypher. Folding inner guard. The hilt in general is in fantastic condition.
The blade is a curved pipe-back and quill point regulation example. Condition of the blade is good, though it only shows some traces of the etching. The scabbard has maintained well, apart from the misisng chape.
Although barely visible, the ricasso has the name of the outfitter, Samuel Levy of 28 King William St., Strand, London. They were there between 1836 and 1865. King WIlliam died in 1837, so this would place the sword between 1836 and 1837.
The sword belonged to Captain Robert Henry Stuart Jackson, who served as an officer in the 97th Regiment of Foot (The Earl of Ulster's Regiment) before becoming Captain and Adjutant of the 1st South Durham Militia. He was born on March 26, 1818, and passed away on October 18, 1854, at the age of 36.
He is buried at St. Peter's Church in Leckhampton, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. His gravestone inscription reads:
"Sacred to the memory of Robert Henry Stuart Jackson. Late of the 97th Regiment. Captain & Adjutant of the 1st South Durham Militia. Born March 26th 1818. Died Octr 18th 1854. Aged 36 years."
A good named example, with its original scabbard. William IV swords are scarce, as he was king for only 7 years.
Please contact me for more photos or information. International shipping is available, with cost-effective insurance. Collection can be arranged by appointment.
