Of all the swords used by the British Armed Forces and the Commonwealth, the Trooper's sword of the Household Cavalry is undoubtedly the finest. It is truly a Knight’s sword (mounted warrior).

This pattern first came into service in 1892 after much debate on whether cutting or thrusting should be the priority in design, which was never full resolved.

The sword is heavy, single edged with a chased and pierced bowl and the initials HC intertwined carrying the Sovereign’s crown. The wooden grip is covered with fish skin and bound with silver plated copper wire.

The blade can be etched with the recipient’s name, armorial arms, mottos and even an important ancestor’s name or indeed that of a son or daughter.

The recipient may also have the privilege of visiting the Pooley Sword workshops at Shoreham to see their blade being either designed, etched, polished or mounted.

This sword is being offered by kind permission of Major General C J Ghika CBE, General Officer Commanding London District and Major General Commanding the Household Division
