Scabbard for sword which belonged to Admiral of the Fleet Lord Richard Howe (1726-1799).

The top locket is decorated with a design in relief and bears the remains of a broken frog hook. The second locket does not appear to be original. The obverse of the chape is decorated with an engraved design.
