1897P George V British Infantry Officer's Wilkinson Sword, sold

In good condition, a Wilkinson made George 5th British infantry officer's sword, initialed "G K S" and sold to a Colonel Slobart.

In pretty good condition overall, this Wilkinson made British infantry officers sword was made / finished on the 23rd June 1921 for a Col Slobart, with the initials "G K S" to the blade, there is certainly some research potential here.

The 32 1/2 inch blade is in very good condition, some aging, not much, and is firm in the hilt. The hilt with some plating loss and a little light rusting, otherwise very good. The fishskin grip has lost a little of its colour, but is in good order, as are the twisted grip wire bindings. The field leather scabbard is also very good. The sword sheathes and draws well.
