This handsome sword was given to Lowe (1769-1844) by the Administrative Council of Santa Maura as a testimonial for the civil duties which had been discharged by him in the Ionian Islands during the years prior to 1812. He returned to Britain that year having served as governor of Cephalonia, Ithaca, and Santa Maura.
The British had taken the Ionian Islands from the French in 1809-1810. Following the Treaty of Paris in 1815 they became the United States of the Ionian Islands under British protection. Lowe later served as governor of St Helena where he was responsible for Napoleon Bonaparte's incarceration.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Shamshir sword and scabbard, presented to Lieutenant General Sir Hudson Lowe in February 1812, is a true testament to his dedication and service in the Ionian Islands. The intricate metalwork of the sword reflects the honor bestowed upon Lowe by the Administrative Council of Santa Maura for his civil duties during his time as governor of Cephalonia, Ithaca, and Santa Maura.
Having returned to Britain in 1812 after serving in the Ionian Islands, Lowe's leadership and commitment were recognized through this exquisite gift. The British acquisition of the Ionian Islands from the French further highlights Lowe's role in maintaining order and stability during a tumultuous period.
Following his tenure in the Ionian Islands, Lowe went on to serve as governor of St Helena where he famously oversaw Napoleon Bonaparte's imprisonment. His legacy as a respected military leader and administrator is encapsulated in this symbolic sword that now resides at the National Army Museum in London.
The intricate details of this historic piece speak volumes about Sir Hudson Lowe's contributions to British colonial rule and governance. It serves as a reminder of his unwavering dedication to duty and honor during a pivotal moment in history.
