Sword scabbard
The black leather scabbard has one gilt locket with a ring on both sides and a gilt chape. Both the locket and the chape are engraved with oak leaves and scrolls. The sword-cutler's name and address is engraved on the top locket. The scabbard is mysterious as it is a Flag Officer's pattern scabbard dated to between 1847-1856, but the owner of the sword did not become a Flag Officer until 1864.
