The sword is an early example of the Infantry Officer's 1895 Pattern because the guard bears VR and a crown for Queen Victoria within the scroll work. When wearing Full Dress, officers carried this sword in a metal scabbard, as here, from a waist belt usually worn under the jacket suspended from two slings attached to the rings. This example was made by Robert Mole and Son of Birmingham and the blade has the standard decoration but appears to have an owner's identifier on it in the form of the letters B.A.N. Dimensions: (Blade length) 32 in (Total length) 38 in
Lot 137
The sword is of the same Pattern as was used by the British Army, but was made for an officer of one of the armies of the Honourable East India Company. In the British Army this was known as the Sword, Infantry Officers, Pattern 1822. The cartouche on the guard encloses the HEIC's lion rampant regardant. The blade is inscribed with presentation details to Gentleman Cadet A.D. Turnbull with the wording:This Sword presented to him at the Public Examination on the 9th April 1838 by the Honble Court of Directors of the East India Company, as a mark of the Court's Approbation of his General Good Conduct while at the Company's Military Seminary. The blade has a pipe back - a stiffening rib along the rear edge - and was made by E. & W. Bond of 45 Cornhill, London. The hilt has the normal hinged thumb guard which was folded down when being worn and folded out when in use. The scabbard would be suspended as in B above and in 1838 there was no such thing as khaki Field Service uniform, so this was the period before leather equipment came into use. Alexander David Turnbull (1819-1864) who, despite being an HEIC officer cadet, was trained by the Royal Engineers in Sapping and Mining, that is to say in the arts needed to besiege and attack fortresses. Sapping was essentially digging trenches that would be the best protections against enemy fire, and mining was digging tunnels below fortifications and packing them with explosives so that they could be blown up to disable the defenders and to form a breach in the walls so that the attacking forces could get in. So he was temporarily attached to the British Army. The HEIC armed forces were completely separate from the King's/Queen's Army; they were effectively private armies maintained by the Company until after the Indian Mutiny. After qualification he went out to Bengal and was posted to the Bengal Army's Corps of Engineers. He served during the Indian Mutiny of 1857 in the Moveable Column commanded by Lt-Col G.V. Maxwell who praised the accurate shooting of the battery that Captain Turnbull commanded against the town of Calpi in April 1858. He was mentioned again as part of Brig-Gen Napier's Division for his gallant conduct with the artillery and in exploring the route intended for the attacking force against Gwalior in August 1858.When the HEIC armies were disbanded and the white soldiers within them were absorbed within the British Army, Turnbull received the rank of Lt-Col in the Royal engineers on 29.4.1862. He was promoted colonel on 17.11.1863. He died on 30.8.1864.Catalogued with the assistance of Dr Andrew Cormack, FSA, FRHistS. Dimensions:(Blade length) 32 in(Total length) 37.5 in
