1854 Pattern George V Scots Guards Officers Sword, sold

In very good condition, a levee weight George V Scots Guards officer's sword, identified original owner.

On the spine is the Wilkinson serial number 56271 and the original owner's initials "E T C" for "E T Cutler", so the original officer and his can be researched. This George V Scots Guards officer's sword has battle honours down both sides of the blade.

The 32 1/2 inch blade with battle honours, Royal Cypher, etc. has been replated at some stage, is in very good condition and firm in the hilt. The hilt is also very good, pretty much parade ground condition. The grip has a little of the black patent worn away but is still very good, as are the twisted silver metal grip wire bindings. The plated steel scabbard has some former corrosion damage to the shoe / drag but it otherwise very good. The sword sheathes and draws well enough.

For just £375, this is an incredibly good buy. Please quote item reference number F74 (908). Further / full sized pictures available upon request.
