A CUT STEEL COURT SWORD.
Alate 19th/early 20th century court sword with a 78cm three edged blade with etched scrolling decoration, with a cut and polished steel hilt and 'clam shell' guard, thin bow and vase shaped pommel, in leather and steel mounted scabbard, 97cm overall.
This sword belonged to Sir Charles Scarth, six time mayor of Morley who lived at Searthingwell, a woolen manufacturer who devoted a considerable part of his time to public service. Although the family have always believed this is the sword with which Sir Charles was knighted it seems more likely it was the sword he wore on that occasion. Sold with copy of an obituary and photograph of Sir Charles.
