- Brief description:
- Pattern 1821 Indian Army Officer’s Sword used by Brigadier-General Sir Henry Lawrence, 1855 (c).
Like many officers who served in India, Lawrence preferred an Indian blade for his sword. These blades, which were more curved than the British pattern, were better suited to the kind of combat encountered in India. This particular sword has a typical Indian blade similar to those used on the native tulwars, while retaining the regulation three-bar hilt.
