British ERII 1897P Infantry Officer's Sword, sold

In good condition, a British ERII 1897P Infantry Officer's Sword. Item now reserved.

Most likely a 70's / 80's Solingen made sword (no maker / cutler / retailer name or "made in" markings). Would probably clean up with TLC and careful use of a metal finishing polish (Simicrhrome recommended) to parade ground standard.

The 32 3/4 inch blade is a little etch worn but generally very good; it has a very small bend in it which would probably be easily corrected. The hilt is good with some spotting (Simichrome would remove these). The leather grip and twisted grip wire bindings are overall good, some slight dings / wear. The leather scabbard is more aged than the sword. Sword a little loose in scabbard, but not much.

Yours for only £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference number AB81 (0134). Further / large images available upon request.
