This British infantry trooper or grenadier's hanger sports a 70 cm-long blade, marked on the spine HADLEY, which stands for Thomas Hadley, a well-known Birmingham cutler. Front of the blade is marked with a crown over 1, a British government view mark, instituted in 1796.
Heart-shaped guard still retains some of it's tarred finish. Guard is somewhat loose around the blade. Wooden grip bears numerous pox-marks made by the wire wrap [now long gone], and has aged gracefully into a fine dark patina.
