***New In***c1896 Mountain Artillery Sword by 'Mole'.

The mountain artillery sabre was issued to the Indian Army in 1850 when the Hazara Mountain Train was formed, by 1889 there were eight battalions. With its guns and ancillary equipment carried by mules a mountain battery could move at the same pace or faster than light infantry and a battery could be unloaded, assembled and brought into action within a few minutes. The 'world record' is probably from the Tibet Expedition of 1904 when a section of one battery brought its guns into action at a height of 17,200 feet Both the sword and the mk2 scabbard are in excellent condition with no rust, pitting or blemishes. The blade is still bright and sharp with no pitting. The guard has numerous stamps indicating that it has seen extensive service (see pictures). These swords were issued to British and Indian troops during campaigns on the North West frontier and in WW1. This sword is the scarce India pattern Mountain Battery sabre, made by Robert Mole of Birmingham. The sword is in good condition and is complete with its matching scabbard. The hatchet point blade is bright and clean with no rust or pitting. The ricasso is marked with the "ISD" and Broad Arrow of the British Indian army stores depot.
