Gothic Hilted British Infantry Swords (1822, 1827, 1845, 1854 and 1892 Patterns) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gothic Hilted British Infantry Swords (1822, 1827, 1845, 1854 and 1892 Patterns) The gothic hilted swords were a family of swords carried by officers and some NCOs of the British Army between 1822 and the present day. They were primarily infantry swords, although they were also regulation pattern for some other officers such as surgeons and staff officers. The term “Gothic Hilt” derives from a perceived similarity between the curved bars of the guard and the arches found in gothic architecture. They were elegant aesthetically pleasing weapons, although they were generally considered as, at best, mediocre fighting swords.〔Robson, Brian: Swords of the British Army, The Regulation Patterns 1788 to 1914, Revised Edition 1996, National Army Museum ISBN 0-901721-33-6〕 Despite this the weapon and its variants had a very long service life. They were replaced with the 1897 Pattern British Infantry Officer's Sword. ==Private Purchase==
Although sergeant’s swords were issued by the Army, officers were expected to purchase their own. In theory they were required to purchase a sword which conformed to an official pattern, however some regiments had their own peculiarities and some allowed their officers some leeway in specification, so there are variations between individual pieces. Also, minor differences between individual manufacturers' examples exist, partly due to their own unique interpretations of the specification for the weapon.
