Blade patinated. Two 9th Royal Veteran's Battalions were raised during the early 19th century, one seeing service during the period 1805-14, and the other seeing service during the period 1819-21. The naming impressed on the scabbard locket of this sword allows it to be identified as a sword of the 9th Royal Veteran's Battalion of 1819-21, since although John Read began trading at 8 College Green in 1810, he only began trading as "John Read & Sons" in 1819, the year the 9th Battalion of 1819-1921 was raised, and five years after the earlier battalion had disbanded. The 9th Battalion of 1819-21 was raised as a result of the political unrest that was sweeping the British Isles at the time. It was formed at Birr, King's County (now Co. Offaly), Ireland, on 1st November 1819, stationed at Plymouth from September 1820 and disbanded at Dublin during March-April 1821.
