Scabbard for solid half-basket hilted sword, which belonged to Admiral Robert Kerr (died 1886). The black leather scabbard has two gilt lockets and rings, and chape. The reverse of the top locket is engraved with the words 'DRURY, Sword Cutler, 32 Strand, LONDON'. There are indications that a second ring was added to the top locket, presumably in 1847, and removed again, probably in 1856. The ring on the mid locket is also an addition, probably added in 1856. It is likely that an earlier ring had been removed in 1847, the locket being retained.
