omschrijving | Hanger- complete with a chain knuckle-guard. The obverse of the blade is decorated with a small design (on the shoulder) of a trophy consisting of a helmet and a sword between two knots of foliage. The reverse of the blade is decorated with a similar design as well as having a crown motif over the Royal cypher 'GR' taking the place of the trophy. Tradition has it that an Officer carried this hanger during the Battle of Trafalgar.
