Wilkinson Sword ERII British Army General Officer's Mameluke, Sold

In near mint condition (will probably clean to mint condition), a Wilkinson Sword made ERII British Army general officer's mameluke, with steel dress scabbard.

Wilkinson serial number 100370 for 1972. This is a rare chance for a collector or serving general officer to get a Wilkinson Sword general's mameluke in very good condition; with some time, effort and a good metal cleaner, this sword should shine to mint condition. There is just some slight discoloration to the steel scabbard, and very slight scuff marks from the blade sheathing in and out of the scabbard.

The 31 1/2 inch blade is in very good condition, so tiny specs towards the point, some light scuffing, but otherwise fine and firm in the hilt. The hilt is in very good condition, the ivorine grips and gilt rosettes all present and good. The steel scabbard is very good, some slight age discoloration which a good metal polish would improve. The sword sheathes and draws very well. These general's mameluke are not easy to come by, so ours is a very good price and investment indeed. Please quote reference number D03 (737).
