National Militia Officer's Girding Sword, 1874. Good state of preservation.

Fantastic Spanish National Miilitia Officer sword, dated 1874. It has a lovely grip with decorative knob, flanked on top and guard by beautiful plant forms. In the front of the guard there are two beautiful letters "MN", entangled between two branches of laurel, according to the National Militia post of the sword. The garnish is notable for showing the head of a dog on one side, made with the utmost attention to detail. The steel blade is engraved at the top with the date: 1874, and is in perfect condition. This fantastic piece also comes with the original scabbard, in dark brown leather with brass reinforcements on the tip and rim. It has an old restoration that does not detract one piece of beauty, and it is totally genuine. Also, at the top we can see the National Shield in a button, which together with the decorative handle make of this weapon a really beautiful piece. Essential for a good collection! The sword with sheath measures 92 cms, 91 cms and 77 cms only the blade.
