Scabbard for solid half-basket hilted sword, which belonged to Captain William Hans Blake (died 1874). The mouth of the black leather scabbard is slightly belled. The scabbard has two gilt lockets and rings, and a chape. The mounts are ornamental with threads. There is a ring on each side of the top locket and one on the mid locket. In 1847 the scabbard was altered to hang from two short slings. In 1856 it was altered again to hang from two slings of different lengths. On this occasion the second ring was not removed from the top locket.
