British Pattern 1897 Infantry Officer's Sword
britpat1897ioswd001a - !!!! SOLD OUT !!!!
British Pattern 1897 Infantry Officer's Sword. Proof plug press inserted into ricasso is marked "HW" in script for Henry Wilikinson of Wilkinson Sword Company of London, England. This logo/plug was inserted into their "better" swords. Due to the blade and hilt bearing the Royal Cypher of Edward VII, this sword was most likely manufactured between 1901-1910, the term of his reign.
Overall length in scabbard is ~40-1/2"; overall length out of scabbard is ~38-3/4"; blade length is ~32-1/4".
Very good blade with good etching, no pitting, no obvious tarnish. Hilt grip has been repaired, wrap replaced.
Good intact scabbard with two hanger ringlets; tubular sheet-rolled-steel, nickel plated with ~50% remaining; scattered dark oxide mainly towards drag; two small dents just above drag.
Good to very-good condition overall.
