Scabbard for stirrup hilted dress sword. Owned by Captain Edward Chetham (died 1862). The black leather scabbard has two gilt brass lockets and a gilt brass chape. The lockets are fitted with a loop in the form of a serpent at the back edge, and the chape with a small, ornamental shoe. All three mounts are decorated with dull and bright work showing acanthus and other foliage. An oval plaque on each piece shows (top) a lion passant, (mid) Hope and (chape) Hercules. On the reverse of the top locket is inscribed 'Dudley Portsmouth'.
