A close-up photo of a Victorian courtly sword, owned by Disraeli and made from nacre and gilded brass.
A close view of Disraeli's court sword, showing the shell guard, knuckle-bow, mother-of-pearl scales and the pommel. All the metal is gilded and in excellent condition. This is in NT Hughenden.

Two steel swords lay on top of a red fabric with an antique pistol nearby.
Two British Victorian officers' swords: a heavy cavalry above and a light cavalry below. Both were brought into service in 1821. The percussion cap pistol is a little later.

Good day today teaching primary kids about weapons and armour, lovely school with really interested, enthusiastic, and well mannered kids.
Must do more #ArmsAndArmour workshops as they really are fun!
First appearance of #ArmsAndArmour in a year at @Mahalls20Lanes and it's fantastic! https://t.co/OvZNwlDwHu
