1912 Pattern Cavalry Officers Sword by Wilkinson. 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons

A superb untouched early example of the Officers pattern sword, the last service sword issued to the British Cavalry. The 1912 Pattern cavalry officer's sword is of the same basic form as the 1908 trooper's version, but in a more decorative form and it was privately purchased by the officer himself. This one is just beautiful retaining a wonderful untouched patination, this could be easily cleaned back to make it bright and shiny, but why would you want to. It has a nicely etched blade with the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons badge, this is still good a vibrant and the blade is marked by Warrant. Henry Wilkinson Pall Mall, London. And with Wilkinsons proof button on the opposite side and the issue number of 43394, this gives it an issue date of 1912, one of one 558 of these swords made by Wilkinson that year. It comes in its brown leather field scabbard, this is also in very good condition but has the usual scuffs, but all stitching looks sound.
The whole sword measures 43.5 inches long, so a slightly larger size than normal with a blade of 35 inches long.
Shipping to UK mainland only, this is a very big sword so will be sent via courier priced at £13.95
