1912 Patt British Cavalry Officer's Sword by Wilkinson (sold)

A good 1912 pattern British cavalry officer's sword by Wilkinson.

A good example of the 1912 pattern British Cavalry Officer's Sword. I did not need to look up the serial number to see when it was made because of the brown camouflage pain on the inside of the bowl; this stood out as a war sword. Made by Wilkinson during WW1, circa late 1917, serial number 49113. The hilt has some aging (small rust spots, etc.) but the 35 inch blade is still very good indeed. Fishskin grip and twisted wire grip bindings also good, the leather field service scabbard a little worn and with a later frog loop. Further / full sized photos available upon request. Item Ref: 698 (275).
