A GEORGIAN SHORT SWORD TO THE GRENADIER GUARDS, 60.5cm flattened diamond section gladius style blade, decorated with crowned Royal Arms at the forte, the motto NEC ASPERA TERRENT to either side, multiple small stands of arms and foliate sprays and large flaming grenades, the whole highlighted in gilt on traces of a faded blue ground, the gilt hilt of gladius form with upturned spatulate crossguard finely decorated with a stand of arms and geometric borders, bold lion's head pommel, copper wire bound grip. The attribution to the Grenadier Guards is based on the motto and the presence of the flaming grenades.
