This Mounting Sword Model 1844 is included in the group of Weapons of Spain where the Shield flanked by the initials GC reproduces the emblem of a Corps, garnished with three hawks made specifically for Civil Guard Officers.
Recently created the Civil Guard Corps under the direction of the Duke of Ahumada, the first rule on the use and allocation of bladed weapons was issued, where it was provided that for the Infantry forces a 'Saber of those used by the Army Infantry ' while for the Cavalry, a 'Sword of the Line' was assigned. RO15/June/1844
The Duke of Ahumada, concerned about the correct and honorable use of arms, dictated:
'Several times some Guards have unsheathed their sabers against unarmed civilians... all Civil Guards must keep in mind the motto of the old Spanish swords - do not take me out without reason or sheath me without honor - and rarely can there be cause to unsheath it against the civilian disarmed'. (Circular 4/08/1846)
By founding order it was expected to provide all the Civil Guards of Cavalry or Infantry with their corresponding saber (RO25/08/1848) and the Duke of Ahumada, in 1850, dictated that the orders be made directly by the heads of the Tercios to the Fábrica de Toledo and that it be observed if they carried the true motto of the establishment because "in many workshops in the foreign kingdom they are forged by putting the label of the Fábrica de Toledo"
From then on, swords and sabers were designed and manufactured to be carried by the civil guards.
Consistent with the above, the 'Model 1844 Riding Sword for Civil Guard Officer' was one of the first bladed weapons of the Civil Guard Corps manufactured in the prestigious Toledo Bladed Weapons Factory.
The officers of the Civil Guard Cavalry units were endowed, continuing the custom of the time, with an exclusive model of riding sword. The use of the riding sword was complemented by the girdle sword in acts on foot.
