Over 200 years of military history are captured in this beautifully boxed miniature sword. While the first Royal Navy pattern sword was issued to officers in 1805, the impressive but impractical design led to it being superseded by a solid-hilt design in 1827 before a standardised blade was adopted in 1846. The current single-edged straight blade became standard issue in 1929. The Royal Navy Sword today carried by Commissioned Officers features a gold-plated brass hilt, white fish-skin grip and a distinctive and elegant brass lion pommel. Length is 30cm.
The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) is a branch of the Australian Defence Force and the country’s naval warfare force. The RAN has served Australia since Federation, providing essential protection both in times of war and peace. With a fleet of more than 50 ships, the RAN plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of Australia, its people, and its interests in the Indo-Pacific region. The RAN takes pride in maintaining a strong military presence within the region, with personnel deployed for operations, exercises and engagements. It also works closely with partner nations to promote maritime stability, freedom of navigation and respect for international law.
The RAN is a highly trained and professional force, with personnel highly skilled in areas such as operations, engineering, intelligence and logistics. With its commitment to innovation, the Navy continues to be a leader in maritime security, deterrence and defence across the region.
